The Mets drop split-squad games to Braves, Tigers
Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY SportsThe Mets had their first split squad games of the spring, and dropped them both. In Port St. Lucie, the home team dropped a laugher to the Tigers, 14-4. Over in Lake Buena Vista, the away squad lost a much closer game to the Braves, 4-3.
Mets vs Tigers
In the SNY broadcasted home game, Zack Wheeler pitched the first inning and didn’t look very sharp. A fielder error from J.D. Davis, a single and a wild pitch brought in the first run. A sacrifice fly brought in the second run, and Wheeler was done for the day.
Some other highlights:
Rajai Davis had himself a day, hitting a double in the third and a home run in the seventh, driving in two of the four Met runs.
