Mets outfielder Starling Marte caps strong spring in style

Here are some nuggets from Mets’ spring training on Sunday:

Marte’s day

Starling Marte went 3-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI in the Mets’ 3-3 tie with the Marlins in the Grapefruit League finale.

Marte finished the spring with a .344 batting average.

Ruf times

Darin Ruf went 0-for-3 with a walk as the designated hitter and finished the spring with a .167 batting average.

Ruf and base-stealing threat Tim Locastro are the Mets’ remaining options for likely one roster spot among position players.

Caught my eye

The Mets turned five double plays, with two of them started by Jeff McNeil.

Monday’s schedule

The Mets will play an intrasquad scrimmage at Clover Park for their final spring training workout.

Kodai Senga is scheduled to pitch.
