Grapefruit Juice: Mets 8, Astros 2—Alonso goes yard
The Mets brought most of their major league regulars on the road for a Grapefruit League game against the Astros this evening, and they won the exhibition game by an 8-2 score.
Pete Alonso hit his first home run of spring training, a three-run shot in the sixth inning.
Brandon Nimmo went 2-for-4 with an RBI.
Neither Francisco Lindor nor Juan Soto had a hit, but Soto drove in a run on a sac fly.
Brett Baty doubled and tripled, and both Tyrone Taylor and Starling Marte also doubled.
David Peterson threw five scoreless innings, allowed two hits, struck out four, and walked three, and he is sporting a 0.57 ERA in Grapefruit League play.
