Mets Minors Recap: Jonah Tong Fires Four Scoreless

Jonah Tong started his season with Triple-A Syracuse on Friday the same way he finished it last year: with a scoreless performance. The 22-year-old tossed four innings (one hit, two walks, four strikeouts) to help the Mets to a 3-1 road victory over Worcester on Opening Day at Polar Park. He threw 42 of 73 pitches for strikes. Ronny Mauricio stole a base and scored a run.

Syracuse will play Worcester again Saturday at 4:05 p.m. ET. Its home opener is on Tuesday vs. Toledo. The other Mets affiliates get their seasons started next week.
