The Mets are heading to Wisconsin without Justin Verlander on the active roster, but another rotation injury notwithstanding, things went great in Miami. New York’s season-opening series resulted in winning three of a possible four games.
Manager Buck Showalter watched solid starting pitching get followed up by a consistently effective bullpen. There was also some incredible defense and timely hitting. That’s exactly how you draw it up, folks.
The Amazins will eventually get to Citi Field on April 6th for the home opener. Tylor Megill is scheduled to step in for Verlander then.
