The bats were alive early and often for the New York Mets. Catcher Wilson Ramos and outfielder Jeff McNeil smashed extra-base hits to drive in three runs in the first inning. Ramos’ double off the right-field wall drove in two runs. Following that blast, McNeil launched a triple to deep center field and drive in Ramos.
Wilson Ramos takes Strasburg to the wall for the 2-run double. A McNeil triple makes it 3-0 Mets after one inning. My oh my here comes the Mets "balanced" lineup. #LGM pic.twitter.com/YkzmNxPr67
