Mets dominate Blue Jays 5-0 in home opener

The New York Mets celebrated their home opener with a 5-0 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, highlighted by Pete Alonso's two-run homer in his first at-bat, marking his third home run in four games. Tylor Megill contributed a strong performance, allowing just two hits over 5.1 innings, while the bullpen completed the shutout. The game attracted a sellout crowd of 43,945, eager to see new acquisition Juan Soto play in his home debut. Alonso's contract negotiations during the offseason had raised uncertainty about his future, but he returned to the team on a two-year deal, much to the delight of the fans. The victory improved the Mets' record to 4-3, while the Blue Jays' winning streak was snapped. The Mets are now 42-22 all-time in home openers, reinforcing a strong tradition at Citi Field.
