PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (CBSNewYork) — Steven Matz will be the final member of the Mets’ expected rotation to toe the rubber and pitch his initial two innings Monday in Jupiter, Florida, against the Marlins. But it was a good several days for the young guns, even if the numbers didn’t always come out in their favor.
Robert Gsellman, the expected No. 5 starter, was the first to go on Thursday. Noah Syndergaard made his debut Friday against the Astros in Port St. Lucie. He allowed a hit and two walks while striking out one, and accomplished what he set out to do.
