Mets vs. Royals Game 1 Recap

Last night, the New York Mets lost to the Kansas City Royals 4-3 in the first game of the season. Matt Harvey didn't have his best stuff and gave up 4 runs. However, only 3 were earned. He had sharp secondary pitches, but he had trouble commanding his fastball. The Mets offense was lifeless until the 8th inning when their bats finally started to wake up. 1b  Lucas Duda hit a 2 run single and 2b Neil Walker grounded into a fielder's choice which brought home a run. SS Asdrubal Cabrera stuck out with 2 men on and 2 out in the 8th to end the inning. In the 9th inning, the Mets had another rally with a walk by catcher Travis d'Arnaud and a single by RF Curtis Granderson. They were unable to tie the game as 3b David Wright and LF Yoenis Cespedes both struck out to end the game. The Mets hope to bounce back tomorrow and split their series against the Royals. The game time is 4:15 with a pitching matchup of Noah Syndergarrd against former met starter Chris Young.
