Aaron Hill put Arizona on the board with an RBI double in the first before Davis answered in the second with his 18th home run.

The Diamondbacks scored twice in the second inning off Chris Young (2-5), who allowed six runs over four innings and remained winless over his last five starts.

After Davis belted his second home run in the fifth, Arizona added three runs in the bottom half on Miguel Montero’s two-run homer and Gerardo Parra’s RBI single.

Davis hit his third home run in the sixth, and the Mets threatened in the eighth before David Hernandez struck out Jason Bay and Kirk Nieuwenhuis with two runners on to end the inning.
