Brian Joura Mets360: "Luis Robert Jr. belted a three-run homer in the bottom of the 11th inning to lift the Mets to a 4-2 win over the Pirates Saturday afternoon at Citi Field. The come-from-behind win lifted the Mets’ record to 2-0 on the year.
Mark W. Sanchez New York Post: Luis Robert Jr.’s walk-off home run saves Mets in 11-inning win over Pirates "Luis Robert Jr. looked like the superstar he once was in clubbing a three-run walk-off home run to complete what the Mets so seldom completed last year: a legitimate, late-game comeback. The Mets, who trailed in the 10th and 11th, pulled out a 4-2 victory in front of 37,183 hooded and blanketed fans at Citi Field."

2009 | John Franco throws out the ceremonial first pitch to a standing ovation from the crowd attending the collegiate matchup between St. John's and Georgetown in the first baseball game ever played at Citi Field. Before tossing his signature pitch, a breaking ball in the dirt, the former Mets reliever goes to the mound wearing a familiar blue and orange jacket, removes his coat to reveal his alma mater's colors, a Red Storm jersey with his number 45. |
2009 | On a damp and chilly afternoon, 22,397 patrons become the first fans to attend a baseball game at Citi Field, the Mets' new home, when St. John's University hosts Georgetown in a collegiate contest. The weather dampened the schools' hope of breaking the NCAA attendance record of 40,106, set during a game between San Diego State and Houston played at Petco Park in 2004. |
2000 - In Japan, the Chicago Cubs open the major league season at the Tokyo Dome by defeating the New York Mets, 5 - 3, in the first major league opening day ever played outside of the United States, Canada or Mexico. Jon Lieber gets the victory and Mike Hampton takes the loss. Shane Andrews, Mark Grace and Mike Piazza hit home runs in the game.
2011 - One of last season's concussion victims, Mets OF Jason Bay, is sidelined again, but for a different reason. He suffers a strained muscle in his rib cage and will likely start the season on the disabled list.
