This game felt long and eventful, despite its relatively low score of 3-2. At least Jacob deGrom is okay. Maybe. Who knows, he’s throwing baseballs again.
Taijuan Walker was great, for the most part. He threw three perfect innings to start his day, and the Mets offense followed suit by posting zeros of their own — they had runners on in each of the first three innings, most notably when Javier Báez and Dominic Smith hit back to back singles in the second. That threat was squandered when Jonathan Villar smoked a line drive that was caught by the center fielder, and Báez decided to run on contact, got picked off with ease.
