Isaiah J. Downing-USA TODAY Sports On a cool April day in Denver, the Mets and Rockies played two baseball games, one of which was good and fun, and one of which was bad. The first game of the day was filled with plenty of highs and lows, something that has become routine when Jacob deGrom takes the mound for the Mets. Though the Mets did end up winning 4-3, it took a late-inning rally to secure the win, and considering how the team performs when deGrom starts, it was far from a guarantee. The game started with the Mets getting their first two batters of the game, Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor, on base. But in typical 2021 Mets fashion, they could not capitalize against Rockies starter Chi Chi Gonzalez, stranding Nimmo and Lindor on base and wasting an early opportunity to score.
