The Mets fell to the Astros 5-4 yesterday. Joey Lucchesi’s scoreless spring ended in the third inning, though part of it was due to bad luck. Overall, Lucchesi, who is competing for a rotation spot, pitched well outside of that one frame.
In the loss, the B-lineup turned a triple play on a Jose Altuve liner.
Albert Almora Jr. helped his cause with a three-run homer.
Luis Rojas spoke to the media before the game and referred to James McCann as “outstanding”.
Mike Piazza dropped by camp and spoke to the media.
