In a day that was already historic, the Mets set some franchise marks of their own as they topped the Diamondbacks 10-3 in their home opener. Francisco Lindor was the star of the day, homering from both sides of the plate, but Starling Marte had a huge day as well and Chris Bassitt was for the most part fantastic. Even the bullpen was mostly good today! Truly not much more you could ask of a Jackie Robinson-day game when the Mets also unveiled a statue of the greatest player in franchise history.
Things looked a little dicey off the bat, as a double and a walk put two Diamondbacks on in the first with only one out.
