My First New York Mets Game at Citi Field - Christopher Morel Homers off Edwin Diaz
12I went to Citi Field for the 1st time On April 29, 2024 to Watch the New York Mets take on the Chicago Cubs. This was the first time I recall ever seeing the Mets play at least this was the first time this team was ever on this channel.
I got to the stadium and entered 90 minutes before 1st pitch and watched the Cubs take Batting Practice and tried to get a home run ball. Zack Hample was actually at that game and during BP he caught 3 balls while I ended up with goose eggs.
During the game Brandon Nimmo hits a solo home run to give the Mets an early 1-0 lead. No team scored any runs until the top of the 8th inning where Michael Busch scores after the Mets failed to turn a double play that would have ended the inning with them in the lead.
The Game was tied 1-1 going into the top of the 9th inning and Edwin Diaz came into the game to try to keep the game tied. Unfortunately, Diaz gave up a 2-run home run to Christopher Morel which landed on the other side of my section. This gave the Cubs a 3 to 1 lead and that was the final score.
