The last time a team scored a run on Opening Day against the New York Mets was 2018. Remember that year? It feels like a century ago.
Kevin Plawecki was the starting catcher. Adrian Gonzalez was over at first base. Noah Syndergaard, not Jacob deGrom, was on the mound. In fact, at this stage of his career, deGrom had never started an Opening Day in his career.
