The New York Mets defeated the Washington Nationals 7-6 in a seesaw affair on Sunday afternoon at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie.
- Clay Holmes issued a four-pitch walk to lead off the game, but bounced back to strike out a whopping eight batters over 3 2⁄3 scoreless innings of work, as he continues his fantastic spring campaign.
- Mark Vientos hit a two-run homer off Jake Irvin in the bottom of the first to get things started for the Mets—his first long ball this spring.
- The Nationals could not put that first inning to bed and played some shoddy defense to extend the frame.
