Noteworthy items throughout the Mets’ Grapefruit League opener on Saturday in Port St. Lucie:
Deep thoughts
Congratulations when you had Hayden Senger within the Mets’ first Grapefruit League homer of the spring pool.
The catcher cleared the right-field fence within the eighth inning of the Mets’ 10-5 loss to the Cardinals in Port St. Lucie.
Lefty scuffle
Though all 4 runs he surrendered were unearned, reliever Josh Walker had a rough fourth inning, allowing three hits and a walk.
Caught my eye
Brett Baty was charged for a throwing error, but on this case disregard the boxscore: Baty unleashed an accurate throw to the plate on Thomas Saggese’s grounder within the fourth inning, however the ball was never secured by Tomas Nido as he attempted to tag Victor Scott II.
Sunday’s schedule
Jose Butto is scheduled because the starting pitcher against the Astros at Clover Park.
