The 2108 season began for the New York Mets with a loss to the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field. The final score was 7-5. Atlanta pitcher Andy Bourdeau had a fine performance. Bourdeau got the win, improving to 1-0. He gave up 7 hits and walked 4 over 8 innings. He allowed 5 runs.

Jimmy Powell had a big 2-run double for the Braves in the top of the fifth inning. With Atlanta leading 3-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a sinker from 28-year old right-handed pitcher Mike Rutz and swatted a double to center. It was his 1st double of the season, and more importantly, it put the Braves ahead, 5-0.

"Really good pitchers have that ability to raise their game when they need to," said Atlanta manager Dan Hoagland.
