Statcast: Wright's homer sets the tone

Here's a closer look at each of those plays, courtesy of Statcast™.

Wright sets the tone early
David Wright wasted no time igniting the Citi Field crowd, crushing a two-run homer in the first inning after the Mets had conceded a run in the top half of the frame. Wright jumped all over a 96.6-mph offering from Yordano Ventura, turning it around at 102.8 mph. The ball traveled a projected 386 feet into the seats in left-center to give the Mets an early one-run lead.

Granderson makes long, running catch
Curtis Granderson made one of his best catches of the year, tracking down a long fly ball to close out the top of the fifth inning.
