Jorge Polanco continues to struggle at the plate as the Mets face the Braves in a doubleheader opener. In the Mets’ 3-2 win in the first game, Polanco goes 0-for-3 and records three strikeouts. Despite his continued offensive difficulties, New York secures the victory, with the final score remaining 3-2. The reports note that Polanco’s recent performance is part of an ongoing pattern of batting troubles, and the twinbill win helps offset that lack of production during the game. While one outlet mentions that his struggles are not likely to erase fans’ focus on first baseman Pete Alonso, both accounts describe the same on-field result and Polanco’s individual stat line. Overall, the coverage centers on Polanco going hitless with multiple strikeouts in a game the Mets still win, keeping the team moving forward through the start of the doubleheader.
