And the Mets have an 8th inning rally going!!!!!

The trio of Ji Hwan Bae (1B), Antonio Jimenez (1B), and Nick Morabito (2B) have a run in and 2nd & 3rd (2 outs) off the immortal Richard Lovelady

... but they strand runners on 2nd & 3rd so it goes to the 9th with the Nats up 3-2

It was a 3-2 rout by New York, Mets pitchers combined for nine innings, a complete game. Well done.

I only saw a tiny bit of the game - the 6th thru 9th but with dozing off time mixed in.

Vientos had a hard opposite field RBI double (then got pulled for a pr) that was reminiscent of the type of hitting he was doing in the second half of the 2024 season.

The bad news is that it was his first hit of the spring. otoh, Gelbs/Ronnie on the mics said it was the softest contact of his three ABs he had in the game which serves

to remind us that this is all small sample stuff anyway.

The rout was actually 3-2 in favor of Washington, or possibly 2-3 in favor of the Mets.

Of the seven pitchers appearing for the Mets, only starter Tobias Myers is expected to crack the Opening Day Roster.

The weightiest news is that Craig Kimbrel had a rough go of it, giving up a run on two walks and a hit in his lone inning.
