MIA: Trevor Rogers (#28, 25, LHP, 0-0, )
NYM: Kodai Senga (#34, 30, RHP, MLB Debut)



Brian Joura Mets360: "One day after being held to just four hits, the Mets busted out with 12 hits and six walks en route to a 6-2 win over the Marlins Saturday afternoon in Miami. Mark Canha led the way, as he reached base four times, including a bloop opposite field double and a home run."


Metstradamus: Mark Canha’s Personal Journey. "Canha isn’t a superstar by any means, but he gives you good production, he gets big hits, he doesn’t kill you in the field, and he’s proven that getting hit by pitches can be sustainable (28 last season, 27 in ’21)."

NY Daily News:

  • Bill Madden: Mets get early reminder of old baseball adage ‘you never have enough pitching’ "The Mets’ season is not over before it ever started, but it sure has been compromised...Assuming Verlander gets back in a reasonable amount of time, it does not change the fact that the Mets’ rotation is loaded with questions: How long before Scherzer’s oblique — which sidelined him twice in 2022 — flares up again? Will Carlos Carrasco, with a history of injuries these past couple of years, hold up for a full season? How good is Kodai Senga? Is David Peterson finally ready to assume the role of a dependable No. 4-5 starter?"

1972

After playing a round of golf in West Palm Beach with his coaches on Easter Sunday, Mets manager Gil Hodges, two days shy of his 48th birthday, suffers a fatal heart attack. The club will name current first base coach and former Yankee skipper Yogi Berra to run the team when the strike-delayed season begins.

1984

For the first time in ten years, the Mets lose on Opening Day, bowing to the Reds, 8-1. The last time the team dropped a season opener was in 1974, when Mike Schmidt hit a two-run walk-off home run off Tug McGraw, giving the Phillies a 5-4 victory over New York at Veterans Stadium.

2003

Todd Zeile homers in his first at-bat as a Yankee, becoming the only major leaguer to hit a home run for ten different teams, surpassing Tommy Davis, who went deep for nine different clubs. In addition to homering with the Bronx Bombers, the infielder has also gone deep for the Cardinals, Cubs, Phillies, Orioles, Dodgers, Marlins, Rangers, Mets, and Rockies.

Baseball Reference:

2010: The injury-ravaged New York Mets round out their roster by making six cuts, sending Ps Nelson Figueroa, Kiko Calero, Bobby Parnell and Elmer Dessens, along with IF Russ Adams and OF Chris Carter, major league veterans all, down to AAA Buffalo. Among those that make it through the day are veteran Frank Catalanotto, a spring training invitee, and 20-year-old P Jenrry Mejia.
