The Mets lost their first spring training game to the Cardinals 10-5, but the main storyline from yesterday’s game was the pitchers auditioning for roles on the roster. Both Tylor Megill and (especially) Nate Lavender shined in their spring debuts yesterday.
Tylor Megill, Jeremy Hefner, and Jordan Walker spoke to Tim Healey of Newsday about Megill’s new “American Spork” and why he didn’t throw it much in his spring debut.
After some strength work in the offseason, Mets reliever Eric Orze comes into camp almost 15 pounds heavier than he was last year, which he hopes will lead to better results.
