Jacob deGrom started for the Mets as he was outstanding as he allowed only 1 hit over 5 innings. Of course, he was not the winning pitcher as the Met could not score for him. The only run came on a home run by designated hitter Yoenes Cespedes in the 7th inning. This was his first appearance for the Mets in two years. I held my breath in the 9th inning as Edwin Diaz who had a terrible 2019 came into the game. He got the save as he allowed just a walk in his inning of work. Can he keep this up?
The Mets are now 39-20 in openers in their history. Will it be downhill from here? A 60-game season is a sprint, not a marathon and every game counts more.
It bothered me to hear Cespedes speaking Spanish at a post-game news conference. Since he makes big bucks, we can't he hire a tutor to teach him how to speak English? I think many other Latino players refuse to learn to speak English.
I have collected every Mets yearbook since the inception of the team in 1962. Apparently, they are not publishing one for this abbreviated 2020 season.
