The Mets dropped their road game in Jupiter to the Cardinals this afternoon, as Sean Manaea gave up three runs in two-and-two-thirds innings of work. With a lineup featuring many projected Opening Day starters, the Mets only had five hits on the day.

The highlight of the game was undoubtedly Jorge Polanco’s solo home run, as it gave the Mets their only run of the afternoon. He went 1-for-3 on the day.

Perhaps more importantly, Luis Robert Jr. made his Mets spring training debut, played center field, and went 1-for-3 at the plate.
-
Jacob Reimer hit a single in his lone plate appearance after getting into the game.
-
Tyrone Taylor went 1-for-2 with a double to continue his strong spring.
-
A pitcher named Aaron Rozek finished the third for Manaea and gave up a hit before getting an out in his brief appearance.

Craig Kimbrel and Luke Weaver each threw a scoreless inning in relief, and Tobias Myers finished the game for the Mets with two scoreless innings, two strikeouts, no walks, and just one hit allowed while facing the minimum over those two frames.
The Mets are in split-squad mode tomorrow, as they’ll send a team to face the Nationals in West Palm Beach at 6:05 PM EDT while fielding a team at home to host the Marlins for a game at 6:10 PM EDT. The former will not be televised, but the latter will be on WPIX.
