For much of the night, the New York Mets’ offense was stalled by former Met pitcher Chris Bassitt. On a wet, cold, and soggy field, New York fell behind 2-0 to the Toronto Blue Jays. However, the Mets bullpen kept the team in it, and the offense finally came through late. Thanks heavily to a big night from Jesse Winker and Francisco Lindor. It was ugly, but the Mets found a way to win....

It didn’t take long, with Francisco Lindor leading off the home first with a double (aided by a nifty slide around the tag attempt).

The Mets pitched their first shutout of 2025 on Friday, and it all started at the top with Tylor Megill. There’s a lot of season left. But Megill is 2-for-2 in posting strong outings thus far, as he twirled another gem in a 5-0 defeat of the Blue Jays in the Mets’ home opener. Megill threw the first 5 1/3 innings of the shutout.
