Mets Vs. Nationals Game Recap April 7 2022

This time, an injured deGrom was not available, so Taylor Megil took the ball from new Mets manager Buck Schwalter and gave the right impression of what the two-time winner of Cy Young in Game 1 usually does. Megil, a six-legged right-hander only in the major leagues since last June, made five appearances in a 5-1 win over the Washington Nationals, making the Mets the first team in the history of major leagues to score 0-0. appetizers on the start day in four consecutive seasons. “It was awesome. “He was electric,” said New York’s first base player, Pete Alonso, whose adventurous rush included a bloody lip when he was hit by a field goal in the ninth and the ball fell from his chin and into his mouth. “He had a lot of balance, very vicious.” Mark Canha and Starling Marte – two products from the Mets’ fourth-quarter spending spree – rose, as did Francisco Lindor, who clocked just 0.230 to 63 RBI in 2021, his first season in the New York. Megill (1-0) entered the day with less time in the big leagues than any other first day of the Mets in the history of the club, but got the assignment because deGrom starts the season on the shoulder injury list. “I was excited, for sure, but for the most part, I felt very relaxed,” said Megil, who said he wanted to take his No. 38 jersey from Thursday as a souvenir. He allowed three blows, did not walk on anyone and struck eight blows. The national team captain, Patrick Corbin (0-1), on the embankment because the MVP of the World Series 2019, Stephen Strasburg, is returning from surgery, left two series in participations with four plus. The highlight of Megil’s night? That came with the runners in the corners with an out in the third inning and the Washington sluggers Juan Soto and Nelson Cruz coming up. Megil hit Soto hovering with a fast ball 98 miles / hour and then put Cruz out with a 2-0 change. Here is how Megill described his strategy there: “Feed the percussion zone. “In a way, let them out.” Soto produced the Washington series with the 99th hostage of his career, a second deck by Trevor May in the sixth. “Nothing surprises me when it comes to his strike,” said Nationals coach Dave Martinez. Soto is one of the lone remnants of the Washington title team three years ago. CEO Mike Rizzo topped the trade deadline last July amid a second consecutive last place in the NL East. There were occasional “Let’s Go Mets!” voices from a crowd announced at 35,052 with temperatures around 50 degrees. ALONSO’S NIGHT Alonso was hit by a field goal by Mason Thompson in the ninth and immediately opened his mouth, but then said: “All is well. Only a broken lip. This is. I got all my teeth. No concussion. “ Said Showalter: “Someone will have, say, some sexy lips for a few days. “… I’m not happy about that.” Showalter said there was some emotion in the dugout after that ball hit Alonso. James McCann was hit twice earlier – once by Corbin with the bases loaded and once by Andres Machado. “I’m not going to get into it,” Sawalter said. Alonso also had two hits and was thrown offside while trying to score from the ground up in Eduardo Escobar’s double in the fourth. Alonso immediately put his hands to his ears to show him that he wanted a provocative response. Showalter asked for one but lost, a decision announced to the crowd by a referee under a new policy this season. THIS AND THAT Schwalter is with the fifth team of the big league as a skipper, including the Yankees from 1992-95 and, more recently, the Orioles from 2010-18. … The Mets have the best of the league 40-21 on the opening day – even though they lost their first eight games. … DH Nelson Cruz scored 0-4 in his National debut. COACH ROOM Metz: Brandon Nimmo (hard neck) sat out. Nationals: Strasbourg entered the 10-day IL as it continues its return from chest surgery. … RHP Will Harris, who underwent surgery to clear scar tissue in his right thoracic muscle last week, underwent 60-day IL. … INF Ehire Adrianza (tense left calf) went to IL for 10 days. NEXT Three-time NL Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer will make his Mets debut on Friday – and will be returning to Nationals Park after playing for Washington for 6 1/2 seasons. Washington starts Josiah Gray, acquired in the trade that sent Scherzer to the Dodgers last July. ——
