From The Athletic:



Mets lean on their standbys in another Opening Day win



Excerpt:


Baseball returned to Queens on Friday, 299 days after it departed for the winter. Just having a baseball game that counted in the standings was stabilizing enough, but the Mets were kind enough to bring along some fundamental truths of their existence. No, they are not the most reliable of franchises. But damn if you don't know when you put on the game that Jacob deGrom will shove but not get the win, and Yoenis Céspedes will mash as long as he's healthy.



And oh, the most important one: The Mets will win on Opening Day.



Céspedes' seventh-inning solo homer, in his first major-league game in more than two years, was the difference in New York's 1-0 victory over the Braves on Friday afternoon. The Mets are 39-12 on Opening Day since 1969 — a stat that grows more unfathomable by the year. New York has won four straight on Opening Day, three of them shutouts.
