When the night started, many predicted this would be an offensive affair. It was Michael Wacha in his New York Mets debut against the Red Sox bullpen. The Red Sox started with Josh Osich, a decision they would come to regret.
It didn’t take long for the Mets’ offense to get going. After a J.D. Davis walk to lead off the second inning, Michael Conforto continued his hot start to the year. The Mets’ right fielder hit a two-run shot deep into the bleachers in right field that Mets reliever Paul Sewald had to retrieve.
