Mets Crush Giants, Vientos Shines

0:00It's April 5, New York Met's news, today starts now, AI powered and ready for kickoff. The Met's straight dismantled the San Francisco Giants last night, nine runs to nothing, and they did it without their injured star, Juan Soto. After a brutal hitless stretch against the Cardinals earlier this week where they sent 27 batters up without a knock, the Met's have now dropped 17 runs across 17 innings. It started with a gritty second inning rally off a Mark Vientos double down the line, followed by two Giants infield errors and a ground out for three, quick scores. Then in the fifth, they chased the Giants starter with a string of singles. Boba-Shet drove one in, Vientos added another, and Tyrone Taylor, filling. In Fursoto crushed a three run homer to make it eight nothing. Taylor capped it with an RBI single in the seventh. Vientos was lights out on the mound, tossing seven scoreless innings with just three hits, his sinker popping all night, his ERA now sits at one point.

1:03For two, as the Met's rotation jails up, Tobias Myers closed it with two clean frames for the shutout. Fans are buzzing about Vientos turning heads after a rough spring and last year. Meanwhile, the Giants slipped to three in six, piling pressure on new Skipper Tony Vitello, making the jump from college ball. Vientos looks locked in for a breakout season, exactly what the Met's need early on. Today, Cody Senga takes the hill for New York, aiming to snag three of four from the Giants, who counter with Logan Webb should be a battle.
