Radio.com: Davis, Alonso Lead New Mets Past Nats 11-8 for 2-0 Start. “J.D. Davis delivered a tiebreaking two-run single in the eighth inning and rookie Pete Alonso contributed three hits and two RBIs as the new-look New York Mets improved to 2-0 with an 11-8 victory over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.”

Mike Puma NY Post: New-look Mets offense comes to aid of shaky Noah Syndergaard.  McNeil fell a homer short of the cycle in a 4-for-5 performance. Alonso drove in the first two runs of his major league career in a three-hit afternoon and Davis snapped a 4-4 tie with his two-run single in the eighth against Trevor Rosenthal.”

MLB.com: Mets’ new approach pays off for series win. Six of seven run-scoring hits sent to center, opposite fields.
