PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- The New York Mets will have two chances Thursday to snap a five-game Grapefruit League losing skid.
Matt Harvey opposes Houston Astros left-hander Dallas Keuchel at 1:10 p.m. ET in Port St. Lucie (SNY). Harvey’s most recent start came against minor leaguers because of forecasted rain in Viera that eventually resulted in the cancellation of the Grapefruit League game there that afternoon.
David Wright is due to play against the Astros in the first of back-to-back games at Tradition Field.
Meanwhile, Logan Verrett starts opposite Boston Red Sox right-hander Joe Kelly at 1:05 p.
