postGame: Mets 1, Dodgers 0
The Mets defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 1-0, in a Grapefruit League game this afternoon in Port St. Lucie. The boxscore is available at MLB.com.
- RF Ryan Church and 1B Marlon Anderson collided tracking down a pop fly in the fourth inning. Both were taken out of the game.
- Top LHP prospect Jon Niese started and threw two hitless innings, walking one and striking out three.
- Niese was followed by scoreless innings by Jorge Sosa, Pedro Feliciano, two from prospect Bobby Parnell, and one a piece by Willie Collazo, Brian Stokes and Matt Wise, who picked up the win.
- Brady Clark drove in Michel Abreu to win the game in the bottom of the ninth.
- CF Angel Pagan went 2-for-3 with a stolen base.
Church was diagnosed with a concussion and is out two weeks, according to Marty Noble and MLB.com.
…so the Mets get their first win of the spring, but at a cost… Church will be undergoing a CAT scan, in addition to Carlos Delgado getting an MRI in New York… thankfully it’s early in the spring, so the Mets’ growing infirmary, already with Carlos Beltran, Luis Castillo, and Damion Easley recovering from injuries…
