The Mets played two games on Thursday after the Wednesday off day and they won both! Here are some highlights from the Mets double victory:
- Granderson and Cuddyer both hit jacks. I know they’re spring training homers, but for the Mets to have hope this season, they need to see this a lot in the box scores
- Lagares went 0-3 however still hitting .367 this month
- Gee pitched 3.2 scoreless innings, then Leather Rocket performed a perfect LOOGY performance facing one batter and getting a strikeout. So did Gilmartin. So there’s that.
- Montero allowed one earned run over 3.2 innings, who is now facing Gee for the rotation spot since Syndergaard is back in minor league camp
- Flores hit a homer, Wright had two hits, Duda went 0-3 with 2 K’s in the game against the Cardinals
- Niese struck out 6 batters over 4.0 innings allowing one earned run
- Alvarez and Thorton both had scoreless 1.1 innings
It was a good day for the Mets. Strong pitching, strong hitting. Can’t ask more than that.
