NL: ARIZONA (33-24) at NY METS (35-19) <h3>Delgado, Mets look to take series from Diamondbacks</h3> Arizona (33-24) at NY Mets (35-19), 1:10 pm EDT FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- New York Mets first baseman CarlosDelgado appears to be regaining his power stroke. The Mets hope the slugger's recent stretch of success willcontinue when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks in the finaleof a three-game series on Sunday. Though his overall batting average is just .230, Delgado hasconnected for five home runs in his last seven games. Afterhitting 38 home runs a year ago in his first season with NewYork, Delgado had just three longballs through May 25. Both Delgado and Ruben Gotay homered as the Mets snapped theDiamondbacks' eight-game winning streak with a 7-1 win onSaturday. Oliver Perez (6-3, 2.69 ERA) takes the mound for the Mets, whoare looking to take the rubber-game of the series. The Metshave won each of Perez's last four starts and the lefthander is3-0 with a 1.80 ERA over 30 innings in that span. Arizona starter Doug Davis (3-6, 3.27) had his best start of theseason on Memorial Day, allowing one run in eight inningsagainst the Philadelphia Phillies. Reliever Jose Valverdenearly gave the game away by allowing three runs in the ninth,but Davis eventually earned the win in a 5-4 victory. Eric Byrnes hit his club-leading ninth homer in Saturday's lossand extended his hitting streak to 10 games.
