The Mets finished in the correct column for the first time in a few days yesterday, that doesn’t matter but whatever, as they beat the Marlins 6-4. In case you missed the game:
- deGrom reminded all of us yesterday that he is the reigning Cy Young winner and he still has it as he pitched 5.0 scoreless innings, allowed one hit and struck out 1
- Matz, whose stock rose slightly with Wheeler going down had a clean inning of work
- Mejia allowed 2 hits, but that was it in one inning of work
- Kirk came off the bench for one AB and got a double, because that’s been the theme of spring
- Granderson went 1-2
- Monell had a three run jack
- Plawecki had a solo jack
Monell is really making a case to be the back up catcher. He’s showing power, which is the name of Recker’s game, he’s getting on base and he’s from New York, so he’ll be a fan favorite if he makes it.
