The Mets cruised to victory in a road game as they visited the Astros in West Palm Beach this afternoon, and Nolan McLean was unsurprisingly the star of the show in his first spring training appearance.
-
McLean struck out six, walked one, and gave up just one hit in four scoreless innings of work.
-
Robert Stock was nearly as impressive as McLean, as he blanked the Astros for three innings himself as he took over for McLean. And he struck out six batters without walking anyone and gave up just one hit.
-
Anderson Severino and Ben Simon threw a scoreless inning each to finish the shutout.
-
Tyrone Taylor hit a three-run home run early in the game as he got the start in center field.
-
Marcus Semien went 2-for-3 with a run scored and a run batted in.
-
Bo Bichette went 1-for-3 with a double.
