Game Notes
Former Met Jerry Blevins will join Gary Cohen in the SNY booth this evening! He’s taking the place of Keith Hernandez, who is still on the mend after tearing a shoulder muscle in a fall and needing surgery.
Newsday‘s David Lennon says MLB has talked about “contingency plans” with the Mets and Braves series this weekend due to Hurricane Ian, but no changes are imminent.
