preGame: Mets at Marlins

by Ted Berg on March 4th, 2008 at 12:53 pm

The Mets will travel to Jupiter, Fla. today to take on the Florida Marlins in a Grapefruit League game starting at 1:05 p.m.

This game is not being broadcast, but a live box score will be available at MLB.com.

John Maine will start for the Mets against Marlins lefty Mark Hendrickson. Maine will be relieved by Matt Wise, Pedro Feliciano and Jorge Sosa.

Jose Reyes (SS) will bat first for the Mets, followed by Anderson Hernandez (2B), David Wright (DH), Angel Pagan (CF), Ramon Castro (C), Fernando Martinez (RF), Brady Clark (LF), Dan Murphy (1B) and Richard Lucas (3B).

Murphy is in the lineup playing first because, according to multiple reports, Michel Abreu stayed behind with a right hip flexor. Lucas played for the Gulf Coast League Mets last season.
