Alonso, Soto power Mets past Blue Jays 5-0 in Citi Field opener

Pete Alonso hit an early two-run homer, Juan Soto added an RBI double in his home debut at Citi Field and the New York Mets beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 on Friday.

Tylor Megill (2-0) pitched two-hit ball over 5 1/3 innings and New York's bullpen, off to a terrific start, took it from there as the Mets ended Toronto's four-game winning streak before a sellout crowd of 43,945.

Soto and Brandon Nimmo each had an RBI double off rookie left-handed reliever Mason Fluharty in a three-run sixth. Starling Marte provided a sacrifice fly, and the Mets improved to 42-22 in home openers.
