I just returned from my first baseball game seen at the park since 2014.
This fan of the Atlanta Braves saw his Braves beaten by the New York Mets by a score of 5 -2.
Mets Ace Jacob DeGrom pitched five and two thirds innings, and struck out 12 of the 17 batters he faced.
DeGrom gave up a two run home run to Braves shortstop Dansby Swanson in the sixth, resulting in Mets manager Buck Showwalter removing DeGrom from the game.
After that, the Mets bullpen shut the Braves out the rest of the game, including a 1-2-3 9th inning from Mets closer Edwin Diaz, as Diaz got all of the batters he faced on strikeouts
In all, the Mets pitchers struck out 19 Braves hitters in the game.
Except for a heavy shower that delayed the game for 20 minutes , the weather was basically sunny.,
I'm disappointed with the outcome, but enjoyed seeing the game.
I want to try to see at least one Mets Braves game a year at Citi Field.
The next chance for that will not be until 2023 at the earliest because today's game was the Braves last game at Citi Field in 2022, unless they face each other in the playoffs.,
All in all, except for the Braves losing, it was a fun day.
