Observations from Mets spring training on Thursday:
Power surge
Jorge Polanco blasted his second homer in as many games, giving the Mets their only run in a 3-1 exhibition loss to the Cardinals in Jupiter, Fla.
Polanco has boosted his OPS to 1.300 this spring after a slow start.
Fumble
Brett Baty misplayed a ball in right field, turning a double into a triple. Baty is learning the position this spring as he increases his versatility following his displacement from third base.
Caught my eye
Tyrone Taylor had a strong throw from left field to nail Victor Scott II attempting to reach third base.
Friday’s schedule
Kodai Senga and Clay Holmes are scheduled to face the Nationals at Clover Park.
