Year: 2023; Game # 15; Saturday, Apr 15; NYM 3 @ OAK;2; boxscore;; WP: Smith;; LP: Fujinami;; Save: Robertson; Time: 2:46; DAY; Attendance: 12,967; Record: 9-6; Standings: 2; Games up/behind: 2; W 


Box Score: Mets 3 A's 2 Brandon Nimmo CF 2 for 4, double, 1 RBI; Francisco Lindor SS 1 for 4, double; Pete Alonso 1B 1 for 4, HR(7), 1 run scored, 1 RBI, 1 K; Mark Canha LF 1 for 4, HR(2), 1 run scored, 1 RBI; Carlos Carrasco 5 innings, 2 runs - both earned, 4 hits, 1 walk, 3 Ks; Drew Smith (W,1-0) 1.1 innings, no runs, no hits, 2 Ks; Brooks Raley 2/3 inning no runs, no hits, 1 K; Adam Ottavino 1 inning, no runs, no hits, 2 walks, 1 K; David Robertson (S,3) 1 inning, no runs, 1 hit, 1 K;


Brian Joura Mets360: "One night after putting up 17 runs, the Mets found it a little tougher to muster offense. But they rallied back from a 2-0 deficit and used strong relief pitching to earn a 3-2 victory over the A’s Saturday afternoon in Oakland." 


Mike Puma NY Post: Mets rally past A’s late for third straight win. "Canha’s homer leading off the seventh inning awoke the Mets, who had only three hits to that point. The blast to left field that tied the score 2-2 provided a nice homecoming for Canha, who came to the Mets before last season after spending seven years with Oakland."


John Coppinger Kiner's Korner.com Nimmo, Canha, and the bullpen lead Mets to a 3-2 win in Oakland: "Brandon Nimmo's two hits, which included the double that drove in the go ahead run, earned him the seat on the Korner today. Nimmo capped off the Mets' come from behind rally in the 7th inning off former teammate Trevor May to drive home Tim Locastro and give the Mets a 3-2 lead, one that they would not relinquish." 


Sporting News.com: Mets' David Robertson has to close out A's twice after pitch clock violation in huge 9th-inning spot. "Mets reliever David Robertson experienced that unpleasant reality Saturday. He got the Athletics' Kevin Smith looking at Strike 3 to end the game. Or so he thought. Instead, home plate umpire Scott Barry rung Robertson up for a pitch-clock violation and an automatic ball, thus extending the game. Luckily for Robertson, that only made the count 1-2 — still very much a pitcher's count — and he again got Smith looking at Strike 3 to finally end the game."

NY Post: Chris Bassitt pitches another gem in Mets’ home-opening win. "In his first career start at Citi Field, the 2021 All-Star continued to excel in a rotation thriving without injured ace Jacob deGrom. Bassitt stifled the Diamondbacks over six breezy innings of one-run ball Friday in the Mets’ 10-3 win in their home opener."


NY Post: Mets crush Diamondbacks behind Francisco Lindor in home opener "Cano homered in the fourth — his first blast since returning from a PED suspension that cost him all of last season. In the fifth, Lindor followed Marte’s single with a homer into the right-field porch that extended the Mets’ lead to 5-0. The Mets got another run in the seventh on Eduardo Escobar’s RBI double. In the eighth, Marte delivered a three-run blast and Lindor followed with his second homer of the game."
