The Mets heard a sound mainly foreign in 2022 at Citi Field on Tuesday night. Boos.
They were not thunderous, but they also were not voiced once or twice. It was part of the soundtrack of yet another frustrating loss against a not-very-good opponent.
The Mets had the potential to open a lead in the first inning. But Brandon Nimmo was called out when he was hit by what would likely have been a clean Jeff McNeil ground single, and Pete Alonso missed a two-run homer by inches when he said the wind blew his launch just to the foul side of the left-field foul pole.
Jacob deGrom tied a major league mark with a 39th consecutive start of allowing three earned runs or fewer . DeGrom struck out 10, but was not overwhelming in allowing three runs in six innings . But if a Mets fan is looking for encouragement it is this: Before the game, pitching coach Jeremy Hefner described deGrom as having now completed his spring training in the majors and that the tethers are off. The Mets’ belief is he now can be handed the ball every fifth day until the season ends.
