Oy vey. What happened to the Mets' pitching? First of all, I don't understand the concept of an "opener" when a relief pitcher starts the game and is taken out after one inning. Cionel Perez was the opener for the Mets last night and just pitched one inning. He was relieved by Kodai Senga, who was a disaster as he gave up 4 runs in 3 innings. The Mets had a 9-4 lead at the end of 4 innings, but Austin Warren gave up 5 runs in the fifth inning to tie the game at 9. Matt Seelinger made his major league debut after 9 years in the minors and gave up 7 runs in 2 innings. The hitting came through, scoring 12 runs, but what good is that when the pitching gives up 16 runs?
Tyler Tolbert of the Royals set an MLB record getting hits in 12 straight plate appearances.
