Good Morning Mets Fans! The New York Mets pulled out on top of an offensive match-up with the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday by a score of 10-8.

The team was led offensively by Dominic Smith, who continues to show flashes of why he may just end up the starting first baseman for the Metropolitans on Opening Day. Smith went 3-for-4 with a three-run bomb and four RBI.

Zack Wheeler struggled in his second start of spring, pitching 1.2 innings while allowing three runs on four hits and walking two.

Steven Matz (1-0, 4.50 ERA) will make his next spring start tomorrow as the Mets take on the Houston Astros with a start time of 1:05 p.m. ET.
