The Mets’ broken offense is a broken record

This game started off rather promisingly for the Mets when Brandon Nimmo took Masahiro Tanaka deep in the bottom of the first inning on just the second pitch he threw. However, as has become routine, the happy feelings did not last long, as the Mets’ bats fell back into silence thereafter.

After the first, Jacob deGrom and Masahiro Tanaka matched zeros through the middle innings, facing one over the minimum between them through five innings. The Yankees scratched out a run against Jacob deGrom in the sixth and Tanaka was able to help his own cause.
