The Mets eked by Seattle by a score of 5-4, and the game was every bit of a up and down affair as one would imagine.
Chris Bassitt threw a solid but laborious 5.2 innings, walking three, striking out eight and surrendering five hits. He and Patrick Mazeika — making his 2022 debut after James McCann suffered a broken hamate bone — had trouble all game getting on the same page, from disguising the signs with runners on base, to calling the game in general.
The Mets offense had its ups and downs as well.
