Mets offense breaks out with four Grapefruit…
Observations from Mets’ spring training on Sunday:
Four rating
The makeshift Mets hit four home runs against Yankees pitching, with Jared Young, Luis Torrens, Hayden Senger and minor league utility participant JT Schwartz all going deep — at some point after the lineup was held to two hits in the Grapefruit League opener.

Slow begins
There could also be a time in the not-too-distant future in which Carson Benge and Ryan Clifford are key elements of the Mets lineup.
The two went hitless in six mixed at-bats in their first appearances in a Grapefruit League recreation.

Pete Alonso homered again Sunday, this time against the Tigers.
It was the first baseman’s second homer in as many spring training video games with the Orioles, who signed the ex-Met to a five-year, $155 million contract in the offseason.
