At 1:08 P.M EST, the Miami Marlins starting pitcher, Trevor Richards, threw the first pitch of the game to Mets leadoff hitter, Jeff McNeil. He induced a groundout, then struck out the next two batters for a perfect first inning.
Richards was on-point all game long, lasting a spring Marlins-high five innings and striking out six Mets. Richards only walked one, and surrendered a total of two hits, both doubles. Thanks to a double play, Richards only faced two over the minimum, and earned the win. His spring ERA stands at 2.
