Mets Lose to Nationals, Severino Struggles

0:00On this March 5th, here's what's making headlines for the Washington Nationals. The Mets lost to the Nationals 7-4 in today's spring training game on the road. Reliever Anderson Severino struggled big time, giving up four runs in just two-thirds of an inning, and handing Washington the lead in what had been a close contest. Jorge Palanco got his first action at first base this spring, handling two played appearances before Jacob Rimer and Corey Collins rotated in. It was a quiet day for him defensively, which is welcome news just three weeks from opening day. Boba Schett had a solid day at the plate, going two for three with a run vatted in and a run scored. Brett Beatty provided some early pop, smashing a two-run homer off national starter, Miles Mikolas, in the top of the first. On the mound, Justin Hagamin tossed three innings with four strikeouts and no walks, though he surrendered a two-run homer. The other Mets pitchers kept things mostly tidy, with just Austin Warren allowing a single run. Mike Tockman keeps building his case for the roster, going one for one with a double and a walk.
