Mets' Edwin Diaz draws fan appreciation after another strong outing
Noteworthy items during the Mets’ Grapefruit League action on Sunday:
Back for more
Edwin Diaz received a standing ovation after working a perfect seventh inning in the Mets’ 7-6 exhibition victory over the Marlins at Clover Park.
The right-hander has retired all six batters he’s faced in the Grapefruit League.
On this day he didn’t record a strikeout.
Mixed bag
Mark Vientos committed a throwing error at third base, but a day after striking out four times he launched a homer to left field.
The blast was his fourth this spring.
Caught my eye
Jose Iglesias added to his solid spring by hitting a walk-off homer in the ninth inning.
The veteran infielder is a non-roster invitee to camp.
