WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. – It was not a great night for Mets pitchers with pristine spring ERAs Saturday night as they suffered a 4-1 loss to the Nationals at CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches.
The Mets fell to 8-11-3 this spring while Washington upped its record to 11-9-1.
Here are the main takeaways:
- Clay Holmes, the converted reliever who will start the Mets' season opener in 12 days, came into his start having thrown 9.2 scoreless innings this spring, but he gave up his first run of camp with two outs in the fourth inning when Paul DeJong hit an RBI double.
