Here's what happened in Mets land on Tuesday, in case you missed it…
-
The Mets played a great all-around game on Tuesday, as they homered three times and were spectacular defensively to open the series with a win over the Diamondbacks
- Citi Field was rocking again as New York improved to 13-1 at home on the season
- Postgame, Carlos Mendoza said there's "a lot to like" about what the Mets' offense is doing right now
- Brandon Nimmo is sick, which is why he was out of the lineup following his nine RBI showing on Monday
-
Prior to the game, the Mets made a flurry of roster moves including calling up Kevin Herget, who pitched the last two innings of the victory
- Herget is expected to be sent back down Wednesday to make room for left-hander Brandon Waddell, who will play a part in Game 2 of the series
- A.J. Minter is dealing with a “pretty significant” lat strain and season-ending surgery is possible
-
With him sidelined, recently re-signed left-hander Brooks Raley could present a fill in sooner rather than later, as he’s been throwing bullpens lately
- On the latest edition of the Mets Pod, the guys discuss the returns of Jeff McNeil and Francisco Alvarez, and the Mets being the first team to reach 20 wins
