J.D. Martinez hits grand slam in 8-4 win over Braves

Updated:

By: Stan Son

Entering Friday’s game against the Braves, the Mets had won four straight and were half a game back of Atlanta. After Friday’s contest, the Mets have five on it and are now second in the NL East.

Kodai Senga ($9,000; 27.6 FTPS) made his season debut and was brilliant, striking out nine in 5.1 innings while walking one and allowing two earned runs on two hits. The only blemish was a two-run home run by Adam Duvall ($3,100; 30 FTPS) in the second inning. There’s no shame in that because Duvall was locked in on Friday, as he hit a solo shot in the ninth inning as well. Unfortunately, Senga injured his calf in the sixth inning and was removed from the game.

The Mets were uber-efficient on offense, scoring eight runs on eight hits. J.D. Martinez ($4,900; 26 FTPS) went 3-for-4 with a grand slam in the third inning. Mark Vientos ($4,400; 23 FTPS) went 2-for-3 with a home run, three RBI and a walk. Francisco Alvarez ($4,300; 14 FTPS) hit a solo shot in the third inning for his lone hit on the night.

Marcell Ozuna ($5,800; 19 FTPS) hit a solo home run in the sixth inning for Atlanta.

Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves. No, it is the beat of the ball bouncing off the hardwood with highs provided by the squeaks of the sneakers. Ball is life.
