My father texted me a short time ago to inform me that five New York Mets pitchers combined on the first no-hitter of the 2022 season. Starter Tylor Megill went five innings and was followed by relievers Drew Smith, Joely Rodriguez, Seth Lugo and Edwin Diaz en route to a 3-0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies at CitiField.
It is only the Mets' second no-hitter in franchise history. The first was thrown a decade ago by Johan Santana against the St. Louis Cardinals.
At 15-6, the Mets own MLB's best record and have done so without a single pitch thrown by Jacob de Grom. Indeed, Megill is in the Mets starting rotation by virtue of de Grom's injury. Well, we're not out of April just yet and there's still a substantial amount of baseball to be played but if the Mets are this good now then imagine how good they will be when de Grom finally toes the rubber.
