Morning Briefing: Mets Head to St. Louis for First Road Trip

Good morning, Mets fans! To send or not to send?

The Mets lost their first game of the season Sunday, 4-3, to the Pirates in 10 innings. A key play came in the bottom of the 10th when Francisco Lindor, the potential tying run, was thrown out at home on a Juan Soto double with nobody out.

Carlos Mendoza told reporters after the game that he was OK with third-base coach Tim Leiper‘s decision, the plan before the series was to be aggressive in these situations and the Pirates deserve credit for executing a good relay.
