In their first Grapefruit League game in the month of March—just 26 days away from Opening Day—the Mets had a fun day against the Rays as they scored 10 runs and gave up just one. Let’s run down the highlights of the day real quick.
- Blade Tidwell threw a pair of scoreless innings, including one immaculate inning, and struck out five batters, didn’t issue any walks, didn’t allow any hits, and didn’t allow any runs. He touched 99 miles per hour in the outing, and his early performance in spring training games has been super encouraging coming off the struggles he had in Syracuse last year.
