The Mets Gave Me a Happy Birthday as They Beat the Giants 6-2

 


One must do what he enjoys to have a happy birthday.  Since the Mets were at home for a day game, I just had to go rather than watch it on television.  I was able to get a ticket from Stub Hub for $14 and sat behind home plate in the upper deck.

Starting pitcher Carlos Carrasco was superb as he allowed four hits and walked none while striking out seven over 7 2/3 innings.  At one point he retired 18 Giants in a row.  Francisco Lindor and Eduardo Escobar hit home runs for the Mets who now lead the National League East with a 10-4 record.  They are off to an excellent start despite losing Jacob deGrom to an injury.  Hopefully, he'll be back by early June.
