Both of the leadoff hitters in the game between the Miami Marlins and the New York Mets hit home runs on the first pitch they faced Thursday night, the first time that’s happened in a Major League Baseball game since at least 1985, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

The Marlins’ Miguel Rojas and the Mets' JOnathan Villa hit the homers at New York’s CitiField in what would be a 4-3 Mets win. 

 

Mets' GM On Paid Administrative Leave

The New York Mets put acting general manager Zack Scott on  paid administrative leave Thursday after his arrest Tuesday morning on charges of driving while intoxicated. Meanwhile, court records show Scott pled not guilty earlier in the day.

The 44-year-old’s driving privileges have been suspended. Police found Scott asleep at the wheel of his SUV at a traffic light in White Plains, New York, around 4:15 a.m. Tuesday and determined he was intoxicated. He refused a breathalyzer.
