The New York Mets wrap up their spring with a final exhibition game against the Texas Rangers in Arlington on Saturday as 2:05 PM.
The game can be seen on MLB.tv for FREE, yes that’s right, FREE. Or you can tune into WOR 710 am your radio.
Dillon Gee will start for the Mets and he’ll be opposed by lefthander Ross Detwiler for the Rangers. Sean Gilmartin and Alex Torres are also expected to pitch in the game.
Jon Niese, who was also scheduled to pitch today, will instead throw two bullpen sessions before his first start next weekend in Atlanta. The Mets southpaw said he wasn’t comfortable entering a game in relief today and asked out.
Mets right fielder Curtis Granderson was back in the lineup Friday after being hit on the knee by a pitch and leaving the game the day before. He says there’s still some swelling but he’s fine. Granderson leads all Mets regulars this spring with a .435 batting average.
