deGrom shut down the Padres on an early afternoon at Citi

There are a few days that just can’t be ruined, or else it seems like the universe is off its kilter: a child’s birthday, the day a couple gets married and, of course, Kidcaster day. The Mets did their part to keep the world spinning, as they handily defeated the Padres on Kidcaster day 4-0, bringing smiles to all, most especially this year’s Kidcaster, Caden Phillip.

Phillip, whose baseball knowledge is such that he acknowledged Johan Santanta’s “no hitter” due to Carlos Beltran’s fair ball, did a fine job calling an atypical bottom of the third inning, where he called a pitching change and a strike ‘em out/throw ‘em out double play.
