In a standout performance during Monday’s spring training matchup, Devin Williams continued to impress, pitching a perfect fifth inning with two strikeouts, contributing to the Mets’ dominant 9-0 exhibition victory over the Marlins at Clover Park. This marks his second consecutive scoreless outing, a notable turnaround after he surrendered a home run on his very first pitch of the Grapefruit League.
On the other side of the diamond, catcher Ben Rortvedt faced a challenging moment in the sixth inning when he overthrew second base in an attempt to catch Connor Norby stealing. The error allowed Norby to advance to third base, adding to the day’s drama.
Additionally, Zach Thornton, a recent addition from minor league camp, showcased his skills as the starting pitcher, delivering three scoreless innings. The left-hander held the Marlins to just two hits, issued one walk, and struck out three batters, further solidifying his case for a spot on the roster.
Looking ahead, David Peterson is set to take the mound against the Cardinals in Port St. Lucie, with fans eager to see if he can replicate the success of his teammates.
