Here are some scoops from the Mets’ training day:
Smoking Smith
Drew Smith struck out the side in the eighth inning of the Mets’ 3-2 exhibition loss to the Nationals in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The right-hander Smith has pitched to a 1.50 ERA this spring and will be counted on for important innings in Edwin Diaz’s absence.
Mets reliever Drew Smith Corey Sipkin for NY PostAlvarez rut
Francisco Alvarez struck out in both of his at-bats as the DH and is batting .107 this spring without a home run.
Caught my eye
Dennis Santana fired a scoreless sixth inning with one strikeout in his Mets debut.
The right-handed reliever was claimed off waivers from the Twins over the weekend.
Tuesday’s schedule
The Mets are off for the final time before breaking camp next week.
