A real nice touch to tonight’s simulated game was seeing all the Mets and Braves players wearing 42 in honor of Jackie Robinson. It was extra special seeing Dominic Smith homering while wearing the number.

Hopefully, we’ll get to see that happen in 2021.

The Mets other run came off a Brandon Nimmo lead-off homer. With those two runs, the duel between Rick Porcello and Felix Hernandez turned into a battle of the bullpens.

Ultimately, Robert Gsellman wasn’t up to the task allowing two runs in the top of the ninth. That rally began with a leadoff walk to Mets killer Charlie Culberson.
