Mets Win Big, Edwards Shines in Grapefruit League

It's March 14th for the New York Mets.

Let's get into it.

The New York Mets grabbed an 8-3 victory over the Washington Nationals on Friday night

in West Palm Beach with their split squad.

This win came after the other Mets split squad lost to the Marlins earlier, improving New

York's Great Fruit League record to 10 wins and 7 losses.

A 35-minute rain delay pushed the star back, but once play began, the Mets young hitters

jumped ahead early.

That betty doubled in the first inning, and Ronnie Mauricio followed with another double

to plate the game's first run for a 1-0 lead.

The score stayed close until the Mets added another in the fifth on a mix of smart plays

and Nationals errors, making it to nothing.

Former National Carl Edwards Jr. dominated on the mound for New York, tossing four no-hit

innings with four strikeouts and just one walk.

Washington tied it at two in the fifth against Mets' reliever Brian Hudson, then took a 1-run

lead.

But the Mets reserves sparked a big eighth inning rally highlighted by Nick Rosella Spaces,

clearing double for a 5-3 advantage, then tacked.

On three more in the ninth, the Mets head on the road Saturday to face the Houston Astros

at 6-10 pm.
