Steven Matz got the start of the Mets today and did well pitching 2.2 innings allowing 1 earned run, 1 walk and striking out 1. At the end of the game, he was sent down the minor league camp as was expected at this point in spring. Lets take a look at what else happened today:
- Thorton pitched another 2 innings allowing a hit and two walks but no runs lowering his spring ERA to 1.29
- Leather Rocket had another LOOGY performance facing one batter and getting the out. Same with Alvarez
- Lagares had two hits and a run. Both hits were doubles and he continues to fight for the lead off spot
- Tejada also added two hits including his 4th double of the month
- Duda also added a hit as he starts to rev his engine in spring
- Mayberry added two hits and a double maintaining a .452 batting average this month
- Muno also added two hits raising his BA to .400
- Recker went 0-3 as his spring continues to struggle to shift into gear.
The injury bug is starting to hit the Mets, but at least they continue to get hits as some anxiety starts to build heading closer to the beginning of the season.
