The sun shone on the Mets on opening day at Citi Field, as Johan Santana made his long-awaited 2012 debut following arm surgery, pitching five scoreless innings against the Braves to start the season. David Wright, now the elder statesman of the team (debuting in 2004), came through with an RBI single to plate Daniel Murphy after his double to left field for the Mets’ 1-0 opening day win.
