Opening Day Comes and Goes, Mets Lose

Mets offense struggled to get anything going offensively as the Mets season opener went by pretty uneventfully as they lost 6-1.

Mets only blow offensively came from the bat of Lucas Duda who hit his first of the season off of Tim Hudson in the 2nd. Johan Santana threw 5 shutout innings before running into trouble in the 6th giving up 2 runs from a Brian McCann RBI double and a Matt Diaz RBI single.

The Braves then tacked on 2 runs in both the 8th and the 9th inning including a 2-run blast from Dan Uggla (1) off of Bobby Parnell.

The series will continue on Saturday after a day off on Friday. The scheduled starters will be R.A Dickey for the Mets against Tommy Hanson for the Braves
