I guess it is not supposed to be easy.
Phillies start 2021 with a 4-0 record, coming from behind with 5 in the bottom of the 8th for the win, 5-3. When deGrom starts for the Mets, it is not going to be easy to get a win. Well done tonight, getting to the Mets' bullpen.
Save for Alvarado even though he gives up the first run of the year for the bullpen. In reality, he still looked pretty good, getting the first two Mets to strike out. I do think we may have some anxious but clearly, Alvarado is an upgrade over the pitchers in the pen last year.
