The Astros were bested by the New York Mets yesterday afternoon by the score of 11-3. Nothing much to see here as this is Spring Training and the results quite frankly do not matter.
But there were encouraging moments from those who figure to be contributors to the Astros in 2017.
First, Jake Marisnick went 3-for-3 with a home run. Don’t get too excited though as home runs are not part of the Marisnick allure. But he has played well thus far in Florida.
Next on the congratulatory list is Tony Kemp, who collected two hits in two trips to the plate.
