The New York Metz wrapped up Sunday Spring Training Game with a 4-3 win over the Houston

Astros at Clover Park.

Standout moments included Outfield or Tyrone Taylor smashing his second home run of the

spring, showing off his power and reliable defense amid some.

Uncertainty in the Outfield lineup, Taylor's spot is up in the air, with Lewis Robert

Jr. slotted for centerfield and prospect, Carson Benji pushing for rightfield duties.

Still, his homer in the fourth inning highlighted why he remains a versatile option for the team.

On the mound, right-hander Jack Winninger, the Metz number 11 prospect per MLB pipeline

had a rocky outing.

He walked five batters over one in two-thirds innings and gave up two runs, though the

bullpen held on for the victory.

Winninger went hitless at the plate, but impressed with the game's hardest hit ball, a 110

mile per hour grounder in the first.

He also flashed a cannon arm in the third, gunning down a runner at home from rightfield.

The Metz take Monday off before facing Team Dicoragua on Tuesday at Clover Park, gearing

up for World Baseball Classic Action.
