New York MetsvsToronto Blue Jays
NYM 3/TOR 9
Things to say
Toronto beat the Mets 9-3 at Rogers Centre.
01
opener
Jays took care of business, 9-3. Never really felt close. Toronto's bats got loud early and the Mets couldn't answer.
02
key player
The heart of the Blue Jays order carried it — bunch of runs on the board and they left a couple in the yard. Mets pitching had nothing on them.
03
hot take
Honestly the Mets are what their record says. Thirty-six and fifty-one doesn't lie.
04
deep cut
Mets manager went to the pen too early and it got ugly. Getaway day, you'd like your starter to eat more than that.
05
exit
Long season for New York. Anyway, curious if the Jays keep it rolling next series.
The recap
The Blue Jays took the Mets to the woodshed at Rogers Centre, 9-3, and it wasn't as close as the score makes it sound. Toronto's bats woke up early and never let up, stacking crooked numbers while New York's starter got knocked around and left the yard a couple times too many.
The Mets went to the pen early and it only made things worse, letting a manageable deficit balloon into a laugher. Getaway day, Jays cruise, and New York limps out of Toronto still buried under .500.
