So far the answer has been No. Degrom and Harvey combined to get 2 swings and misses on something like 55 fastballs. Of course in the end the Mets were one hanging splitter away from winning game 1 and walking out of there with a 1-1 tie.

true. But how many times in series like this have we seen 1 at bat like that and the series is never the same. Thinking Oakland/LA in 1988- Oakland never recovered from Kirk Gibson's homer in game 1. I think there was one in 1990 Oakland/Cincy series as well with the same thing.
