The Mets routed the San Diego Padres 11-5 in their series opener. Carlos Carrasco struck out ten and over seven strong innings, and the offense pounded out 16 hits. Four of those hits came from Eduardo Escobar, who hit for the cycle in the victory, becoming the first Met to do so in 10 years.
Tylor Megill is set to rejoin the Mets on their West Coast trip, and will likely start on Saturday as he returns from right biceps tendinitis.
Brandon Nimmo was back in the lineup last night after getting hit by a pitch, and he is playing through his first “rough patch” of 2022.
