On a day full of events - most notably Jackie Robinson day and the unveiling of the Tom Seaver statue - the Mets won their home opener 10-3 over the Diamondbacks in comfortable fashion. Pete Alonso had a couple of sacrifice flies to take the NL lead in RBIs, while Robinson Cano, Starling Marte, and Francisco Lindor (one from both sides of the plate) all went deep. Meanwhile, Chris Bassitt was excellent for six innings and the bullpen mostly took care of business, save for an irrelevant hiccup in the ninth.
The Diamondbacks are one the worst and, as GKR put it, most anonymous teams in the league, and a team like the Mets that aspires to contention should win these games with little drama.
