With Friday’s game rained out, Saturday brought the wonderful day/night doubleheader, a baseball fan’s dream. Zach Eflin would square off with Marcus Stroman in what turned into a pitcher’s duel.
The Mets opened the scoring in the bottom of the first, loading the bases on a walk to Brandon Nimmo, a single to Jeff McNeil and a two out walk to Michael Conforto. That brought Yoenis Cespedes to the plate, who has been disappointing to a team that was looking forward to his thump returning to the lineup this year.
