The Mets 2015 Home Opener saw them shut out the Phillies even though they were outhit 7-6.  Jacob deGrom went 6.1 innings allowing 7 hits, 1 walk, 3 Ks.  Carlos Torres, Jerry Blevins and Jeurys Familia closed it out.  Juan Lagares singled in Daniel Murphy who had doubled in the 4th and Travis d'Arnaud Sac Fly in the 8th gave the Mets some insurance. 

Joel Sherman NY Post: Opening Day provided the thrills the Mets need to keep producing. "A 2-0 victory was finalized and what lingered was whether this was an isolated incident or the first notes of the sound track of this summer?..43,947 — the largest non-All-Star Game throng in Citi history — came because they see the confluence of events forming opportunity...But the excitement about the Mets is mainly about them. Harvey is back, David Wright is healthy and the apprenticeship phase is done for players such as Familia, Lagares and Lucas Duda." 



The win kept pace with the 1st place Braves who beat the Marlins 3-2.

So much for those apprenticeships

As you commented yesterday, Familia did pretty good until the league figured out how to lay off his sinker.
