It was a crisp first couple of innings for both Adrian Houser and Tyler Glasnow, but the warning signs were there early for Houser. A ground ball pitcher who traditionally does not walk many batters was getting all of his outs via fly balls and walking too many batters. Eventually it caught up to him in a big way.

The starting pitching matchup tonight was a potent reminder of the road not taken. In the offseason, the Mets made it clear that their top free agent target was Japanese ace Yoshinobu Yamamoto, and they made every effort to convince him to come to New York.
