From the moment Robinson Cano stepped into the Met clubhouse in Port St Lucie, Amed Rosario and Cano have been joined at the hip. Amed has benefited greatly from that watching a future Hall of Famer prepare for his craft while not being afraid to make in-game adjustments on the fly.

The Mets survive another nail biter from the bullpen as they stave off the Braves with the tying run at the plate. Coming off eight consecutive no decisions, starter Steven Matz tossed a six-inning beauty yielding two runs on four hits mowing down eight with one walk. Showcasing a little more bulk to his build, the Long Island lefty retired 13 in a row before Ronald Acuna Jr. smacked a two-out...
