Steven Matz took the mound for the Mets on Saturday against Jason Vargas and the Phillies. The New York lefty outdueled the Philadelphia one, though neither pitcher’s line was particularly impressive. Still, the Mets offense capitalized on their opportunities more successfully than the Phillies did, and the bullpen held down the fort to secure a 6-3 victory.
The bats immediately got off to a nice start, as Amed Rosario led off the game with a single to center field followed by a walk to Pete Alonso.
