It was our first game of the season at Citifield this season. The stadium was almost full as Matt Harvey was the starting pitcher. The Mets scored 7 runs in the 4th inning highlighted by a bases clearing triple by Ruben Tejada. At that point the Mets had a 7-1 and it appeared to be an easy victory coming. Miami chipped away and scored 5 runs to make the score 7-6. Jeurys Familia came in the 9th inning to close the door on the Marlins.
The Mets lost Travis d'Arnaud when he was hit by a pitch on his wrist. Pitcher Jerry Blevins was hit by a line drive off his pitching arm and suffered a fracture. Kevin Plawecki, a prized prospect, and right-hander Hansel Robles will be called up from Triple-A Las Vegas to help fill in.
Despite an injury to David Wright the Mets have now won 8 in a row and start the season at 10-3. The Mets opened the 1986 and 2006 seasons with that record and went on to win the division those years.
