Acuna went 2-for-4 with a steal and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Acuna notched his second straight multi-hit game Tuesday with singles in the second and third innings, and he came around to score both times. He added his seventh steal of the season and is far and away the Mets' leading base stealer. The 23-year-old has held his own through the first month of the season, hitting .300/.355/.371 with five extra-base hits, three RBI, 13 runs and a 6:14 BB:K in 76 plate appearances.

Suarez worked a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 11th save of the season in a 7-4 win over the Giants.

After getting tagged for his first run of the season in his last appearance Sunday, Suarez was right back in his usual stingy form. The 34-year-old right-hander is tied with the Mariners' Andres Munoz for the major-league lead in saves, and Suarez has also supplied a 0.69 ERA, 0.54 WHIP and 14:2 K:BB through 13 innings.

Pivetta (5-1) picked up the win Tuesday, giving up three runs on five hits and a walk over 5.1 innings in a 7-4 victory over the Giants. He struck out nine.

The right-hander continues to shine to begin his tenure with the Padres. Pivetta has yet to allow more than three runs in a start, and his new home stadium has been a perfect fit for the typically homer-prone veteran -- Willy Adames' solo shot in the fourth inning Tuesday was the first long ball Pivetta had served up in four trips to the mound at Petco Park, and just his second of the season. Pivetta will take a 1.78 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 39:8 K:BB through 35.1 innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road this weekend in Pittsburgh.

Alonso went 2-for-3 with a solo homer, a walk and two runs scored in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Alonso reached three times through the first four innings and put the Mets up 8-0 in the fourth with a ball that was launched off the second deck in left field. Alonso worked a walk for a fifth straight game and has walked 20 times in the first 30 games of the season. His 28 RBI are tied for second in all of baseball and he sits alone in second with a 1.126 OPS, only behind Aaron Judge among qualified hitters.

Webb (3-2) took the loss Tuesday as the Giants fell 7-4 to the Padres, coughing up five runs on nine hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out six.

After getting two quick outs to begin the game, Webb watched five straight San Diego batters reach base in the first inning on four singles and a free pass, putting San Francisco in a 3-0 hole from which it never recovered. It was the first time this season the right-hander had been tagged for more than three runs, and despite the stumble he still sports a 2.83 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 50:11 K:BB through 41.1 innings, tying him for fourth in the majors in Ks with Boston's Garrett Crochet. Webb will look to bounce back in his next start, which lines up to come at home this weekend against the Rockies.

Lindor went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Lindor's lone hit of the evening was a two-run blast in the second inning off Eduardo Rodriguez for his first extra-base hit since he last homered April 21. Lindor has now reached safely eight times over his last four games and continues to be productive atop the batting order. He's slashing .302/.364/.491 with six homers, 16 RBI, 21 runs, two steals and an 8:18 BB:K in 132 plate appearances.

Marte went 1-for-3 with a two-run homer and a walk in Tuesday's win over the Diamondbacks.

Marte helped pad the Mets' early lead with a two-run homer in the third to put them up 6-0. It was his second home run of the season, with his other one coming back on March 31. Marte now has four RBI over his last three games and has reached base in four straight. For the year, he's slashing just .184/.305/.347 with 10 RBI, seven runs, two steals and a 4:11 BB:K in 59 plate appearances.

Peterson (2-1) got the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits while striking out two over five innings. He did not walk a batter.

Peterson got through four scoreless before the Diamondbacks finally pushed across a run with two singles and a double in the fifth. He did not come back out for the sixth despite being at 85 pitches and the Mets holding an 8-1 lead and hasn't reached six innings in any of his last three starts. Peterson's had two outings with nine strikeouts already this season but has combined to punch out only four in his last two starts. On a positive note, he has one walk over his last four outings and hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start thus far. He'll aim to beat the Diamondbacks twice in the span of a week when the Mets travel to face them Monday.

Petty will be called up from Triple-A Louisville to start the second game of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Cardinals in Cincinnati, C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic reports.

The Reds and Cardinals were rained out Tuesday and will play a twin bill Wednesday. Petty, one of Cincinnati's top prospects, will make his MLB debut and serve as the club's 27th player on the roster. The 22-year-old right-hander is 0-2 with a 3.52 ERA with 27 strikeouts and nine walks over 23 innings in five starts for Louisville. Petty was dominant in his most recent start April 23, allowing one hit and two walks while striking out seven over six shutout innings. He'll likely be returned to Louisville after making his start Wednesday.

Rodriguez (1-3) took the loss against the Mets on Tuesday, allowing eight runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out one in four innings.

Rodriguez was tagged for eight runs over three innings after tossing a scoreless first. The Mets homered off him in each of those three frames, accounting for five of their runs scored. Rodriguez has given up nine-plus hits in two of his last three starts, and he now holds the third-worst ERA among qualifiers at 6.06. The 32-year-old lefty lines up for another tough matchup on the road versus the Phillies this weekend.
