Good teams are always going to lose some games to bad teams over the course of a 162-game season, but the first one is always particularly annoying. And the Mets’ lineup was mostly dormant as they suffered their first loss to the Marlins in this young season, a game that saw Miami win by a 4-2 score.
Kodai Senga got off to a rough start, as he served up a two-run home run to Kyle Stowers, one of many Marlins whose names you probably didn’t know before this series began, in the bottom of the first.
