I know you were worried about this one – well – Yesterday, MLB announced the following scoring change: On April 27 against the St. Louis Cardinals, Tyler O’Neill reached on what was originally scored an error in the bottom of the first inning…This has been changed to a base hit…As a result, the run in the inning is now earned…Carlos Carrasco’s ERA is now 4.50.

Pete Alonso is quietly having a terrible year but nobody is going to admit it.

#20 Pete Alonso | INF | .239, 4 HR, 18 RBI, 0 SB

Last Game: 0-4, 2 K Career vs. ATL: .236 (39-165), 9 HR Streak: 0 for last 5 RISP: .250 (5-20), 2B, 2 HR, 14 RBI

VS. ATLANTA: In four starts against the Braves, Peterson is 1-2 with a 5.95 ERA (13 earned runs/19.2 innings)…In his lone start against the Braves at Citi Field, Peterson earned the win after allowing one run in 6.0 innings on September 19, 2020…Peterson struck a career-high 10 batters.

Carlos Carrasco will start Game 2

Cy Young candidate Tylor Megill starts tomorrow.    (4-0, 1.93)

LAST TIME OUT: Megill earned the win on April 29 vs. Philadelphia after tossing 5.0 hitless, scoreless innings with three walks and five strikeouts before the bullpen finished the job for the second no-hitter in franchise history.
