Oh, baby! Mets win home opener behind deGrom, beat Phils 7-2 (Yahoo Sports)

Jacob deGrom maintained his focus on the mound with a baby on the way, and the New York Mets got big hits from Neil Walker and Michael Conforto to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 in their home opener Friday. The All-Star right-hander was removed as a precaution with tightness in his right lat, the Mets announced. Lucas Duda lined a leadoff double in the sixth and Walker followed with a tiebreaking single, endearing himself to New York fans in his first home game with the Mets after being acquired from Pittsburgh in an offseason trade.
