Good morning Mets fans!

Today, the Mets will face off against Elieser Hernandez and the Marlins. Walker Lockett will get the ball for New York. The Mets have already played Miami five times this spring, but haven’t been able to come away with a victory. Hopefully, that’ll change today! Today’s 1:10 p.m. matchup won’t be televised or available via radio.

Yesterday, the Mets topped the Astros 3-1. Noah Syndergaard hurled three strong innings and Pete Alonso tallied his second multi-hit game of the spring. Mets top prospect Ronny Mauricio pinch-hit in the 8th inning and singled.
