Mets’ offense breaks out with 4 Grapefruit League homers
Observations from Mets’ spring coaching on Sunday:
4 rating
The makeshift Mets hit 4 house runs in opposition to Yankees pitching, with Jared Younger, Luis Torrens, Hayden Senger and minor league utility participant JT Schwartz all going deep — someday after the lineup was held to 2 hits within the Grapefruit League opener.
Sluggish begins
There could also be a time within the not-too-distant future during which Carson Benge and Ryan Clifford are key elements of the Mets lineup.
The 2 went hitless in six mixed at-bats of their first appearances in a Grapefruit League sport.
Caught my eye
Pete Alonso homered once more Sunday, this time in opposition to the Tigers.
It was the primary baseman’s second homer in as many spring coaching video games with the Orioles, who signed the ex-Met to a five-year, $155 million contract within the offseason.
Monday’s schedule
The primary highway journey of the spring continues when the Mets go to the Blue Jays at TD Ballpark in Dunedin, Fla. at 1:07 p.m.
Clay Holmes is about to make his spring debut in his second season as a starter.
