The Mets Opening Day Payroll was $264 M with a CB Tax Payroll of $287 M, approximately $50 M over the threshold. Guess which team came up short on depth today? That's right, the Mets had to start a minor league pitcher named Thomas Szapucki LHP who was overmatched and gave up all 9 of the Giants runs including 4 HR's in just 1.1 IP.
Evan Longoria 3B led the Giants attack with a pair of HR's, a 3-run blast in the first inning and a solo shot in the second. Mike Yastrzemski RF and Joc Pederson LF added 2-run HR's.
Jakob Junis RHP had another solid start: 6 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 4 K's, GO/AO= 9/4. ERA= 2.76. Although his last start against the Padres failed to meet criteria for a Quality Start, Junis has not had a bad start since replacing Anthony DeSclafani RHP in the rotation.
