Jack Wenninger started the game and threw two scoreless innings, but it was a game to forget for the Mets\u2019 pitching staff with 13 walks given up in total. Mike Tauchman began his Mets tenure with a bang, launching a three-run home run in his first at-bat. Ronny Mauricio followed that with a solo home run of his own two batters later, and the Mets were up 4-0 before the first inning had concluded. Marcus Semien doubled and scored on a Bo Bichette sacrifice fly, and A.J. Ewing drove in the final Met run of the game on a sacrifice fly of his own in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">After Juan Soto declared that he wants to try and beat Shohei
