New York State of Mind

Robinson Cano made his first Mets at-bat one worth remembering, turning a Max Scherzer pitch into the first home run of 2019. He added an 8th inning RBI single in the Mets 2-0 win over Washington.

It's no secret the standout 2nd baseman never really wanted to leave New York for Seattle five years ago; it's clear he's delighted to again wear (the other) N-Y on his cap.

Not much was new for Jacob deGrom -- and that was fine for the Flushing faithful. Six shutout innings and 10 strikeouts as he extended his record streak to 30 consecutive starts allowing three runs or less.
