Brandon Nimmo didn’t waste a moment in starting to show the Mets it was money well spent to retain him over the winter.
Nimmo delivered a two-run double in the seventh inning for the go-ahead runs after drawing a walk in the sixth and scoring the Mets’ second run of the game on Francisco Lindor’s sacrifice fly.
Nimmo drove in the Mets’ first run of the season with a sacrifice fly in the third inning after Daniel Vogelbach’s leadoff walk against Sandy Alcantara. “For me it was exciting to get back out there, and it felt like a home game,” Nimmo said, referring to the large contingent of Mets fans in attendance. “There was a lot of ‘Let’s go Mets,’ chants. … It was really awesome just to get back out there and get in front of the fans.”Brandon Nimmo slides into third base safely on Friday against the Marlins.“I tried not to think about it because Justin is a veteran, and he’s going to know what he can push through and what he can’t,” Nimmo said.
