Jeff McNeil made his first start of the season in centerfield during the Mets' 2-0 victory over the Nationals, aided by the pitching of Clay Holmes. Delays caused by rain marked the game, yet Holmes effectively pitched 5 innings with a focus on ground balls. The Mets managed to score early with Francisco Alvarez hitting a two-run homer. However, concerns arose when A.J. Minter left the game due to triceps tightness, potentially facing an injured list stint, though he remains optimistic about it not being serious.
There's a lot of new things - challenges. Pitching through a rain delay is one of them. To keep warm, he threw twice during the delay.
A.J. Minter left the game because of left triceps tightness... I'm just glad it wasn't my elbow. We'll get a better idea [of the severity] tomorrow.
