The Mets played two uneventful games on Sunday, tying the Marlins 1-1 and losing to the Nationals 11-6. The key storyline from these games was the ongoing competition for the final infield spot available during spring training. Brett Baty, Jett Williams, Luisangel Acuña, and Nick Madrigal all competed and are striving to secure that position this spring.
Brett Baty continued his push for a roster spot with back-to-back strong performances. On Saturday, he notched a hit and crossed the plate, setting the tone for his weekend. He carried that momentum into Sunday, delivering two hits and scoring another run. In the fourth inning, Baty opened with a double to right-center, advanced to third on a José Siri groundout, and came home on a balk. Later, in the sixth, he lined a curveball to the opposite field for a single, rounding out his productive day.
