Mike Puma NY Post: Tylor Megill’s sharp start, Juan Soto’s homer propel Mets past Astros for first win of season. "Juan Soto’s first homer in a Mets uniform, a solo blast against Hunter Brown in the third, was the team’s offensive highlight...Megill...gave the Mets a chance by limiting the Astros to one run on three hits and one walk over five-plus innings."


Abbey Mastracco NY Daily News: After coming up short on Opening Day, Juan Soto responds with homer to lift Mets over Astros. "Megill faced two batters in the sixth, with Jake Meyers reaching on a wild pitch and Jose Altuve reaching on a single...the Mets...brought in right-hander Reed Garrett...The Astros made Garrett work. He fell behind on Isaac Paredes before striking him out, but then he walked Alvarez on the seventh pitch of the at-bat to load the bases with only one out. From there, he settled in, striking out Christian Walker and getting Yanier Diaz to pop up on the second pitch of the at-bat."


Brian Joura Mets360: Gut Reaction: Mets 3, Astros 1 (3/28/25). "The Mets got their first lead of 2025 when Brandon Nimmo singled and advanced to second on an error on what should have been a caught stealing. Mark Vientos doubled Nimmo home and scored on a single by Jesse Winker that made it 2-0. Juan Soto homered in the third inning to make it 3-0.


Tim Healey Newsday: "The second game of the season was a night of firsts, from Soto to A.J. Minter (a scoreless inning in his first Mets appearance) to Edwin Diaz (first save) to the Mets as a whole (first win)."




In 2019, the Mets had a new Second Baseman, Robinson Cano, a new closer, Edwin Diaz, and a new GM, Brodie Van Wagenen. It was also Pete Alonso's Major League and Mets Debut.

Cano homered, Diaz got the save, and the Mets won 2-0.  Optimism ran high as the new season got underway.

Year: 2019; Game #1; Thursday;  Mar 28, NYM 2 @ WSN 0; boxscore; WP: deGrom; LP: Scherzer; Save: Diaz; Time: 02:44; DAY; Attendance: 42,263; Record: 1-0; Standings: 1; Games up/behind: Tied; W; 

Brandon Nimmo LF;  0 for 3; 1 walk; 3 K; Pete Alonso 1B;  1 for 4; 2 K; Keon Broxton PR-RF;  0 for 0; Robinson Canó 2B;  2 for 4; HR; 1 run scored; 2 RBIs; Michael Conforto RF;  0 for 4; 2 K; Jeurys Familia P;  0 for 0; Edwin Díaz P;  0 for 0; Wilson Ramos C;  1 for 4; Jeff McNeil 3B;  0 for 3; 1 walk; Amed Rosario SS;  1 for 4; 2 Ks; Juan Lagares CF;  0 for 3; 2 Ks; Jacob deGrom P;  0 for 2; 1 K; Seth Lugo P;  0 for 0; Dominic Smith PH-1B;  0 for 0; 1 run scored; 1 walk; Jacob deGrom, W (1-0);  6 innings; no runs; 5 hits; 1 walk; 10 Ks; Seth Lugo, H (1); 1 inning; no runs; 3 Ks; Jeurys Familia, H (1); 1 inning; no runs; Edwin Díaz, S (1); 1 inning; no runs; 1 K;

 

Mets Debuts: Pete Alonso 1B, 1 for 4, 2 Ks.  Pete gets his first major league base hit - a single off Justin Miller in the 8th. Robinson Cano 2 for 4, HR, 2 RBIs, 1 run scored; Edwin Diaz  (S,1) 1 inning, no runs, no hits, 1 K;  Keon Broxton - Pinch Ran and played RF - no at-bats.


Metstradamus: “After Max Scherzer made Brandon Nimmo and Pete Alonso look like bar leaguers (nailing Alonso on a nasty slider), Robinson Cano stepped to the plate for his first at-bat as a New York Met and sent a fly ball to left center that kept carrying and carrying and carrying and before you knew it, the Mets had a 1-0 lead. Quick starts are always nice for new acquisitions, and hitting a bomb off one of the best pitchers in the game is a heck of a nice start. It gave us the first “there’s your run, Jacob” in 2019.”

Call To The Pen: Robinson Cano breaks five-year drought on Opening Day. “You see, Mets second basemen haven’t been able to hit on Opening Day. Cano’s first-inning shot was the first Opening Day [hit] by a second baseman since 2013. It was April 1st, 2013 when the Mets were playing the Padres that Daniel Murphy recorded the last hit. He went 2-5 while driving in a run.”

The Sports News.com: Mets love Robinson Cano's head even more than his bat and glove.

Mets.com: Cano's impressive debut carries Mets past Nats. Veteran showcases all-around game with HR, two RBIs, heads-up DP. “I like to pay attention to the little details,” he said afterward -- of three things happening on different parts of the diamond. Cano trained his eyes on the throw coming at him from Jeff McNeil at third. He kept tabs on Rendon speeding down the first-base line. Then he noticed Victor Robles, who had retreated to third base on contact, breaking again toward home. Cano fired to the plate. The resulting 5-4-2-5 double play was a thing of unorthodoxy, athleticism and savvy…”

ESPN.com: Cano's HR, deGrom's 10 Ks lift Mets past Scherzer, Nats 2-0.
