Mets Crush Blue Jays 8-1 in Spring Training

0:00On March 16th, here's the latest surrounding the New York Metz. The Metz crews to an 8-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays and spring training on Sunday afternoon. They banged out ten hits, sparked by a five-run second inning before heavy rain forced the game to end after five and a half innings. Francisco Lendor made a strong Great Fruit League debut at shortstop. He went one for three, scored a run, and made a clean play in the field during his four innings of work. Marcus Simeon powered the offense with a solo homer in the first to tie things up, then added three more RBI's on sacrifice flies. Brett Batty impressed the first base with a diving catch, while Luis Robert Jr. and Mike Talkman chipped in key hits. On the mound, rookie lefty Zach Thorden delivered a solid start. The 24-year-old allowed just one run over three and two-thirds innings on four hits. Luke Weaver and Brooks Rayleigh kept things tidy before the downpour hit. The Metz stay home in Porcene, Lucy, and host the Washington Nationals on Monday night at 6.10 pm.
