NEW YORK – On a nondescript Tuesday night last June, Chris Heston celebrated the baseball moment of his life. He pitched a series opener at Citi Field and the New York Mets didn’t muster a single hit.
How much the world has changed in 11 months. As the Giants began a series at Citi Field Friday night, Heston was starting a game for Triple-A Sacramento at Salt Lake City. And the Mets, now the defending National League champions, served notice that they will be an obstacle to the Giants in this even year.
