Yesterday, the Mets lost a heartbreaker to the Florida Marlins. Today, the Mets were determined to get out of the gate fast—and that’s what they did. The Mets scored 4 runs in the top of the 1st inning and never had to look back. They added another in the 2nd and 3rd. The Marlins made it interesting by scoring 2 in the 6th and 2 in the 7th, but they fell just short. The Mets won 6-5.

The Oakland A’s got back to business today by beating the LA Angels 3-2. After 5 innings of the play, the game was tied 2-2. In the top of the 8th inning, the A’s managed to push a run across the plate and took a 3-2 lead. Any thoughts of a comeback were dashed when Street came into the game and mowed down the Angels for two straight innings.
