Observations for the Mets’ spring training game win over the Astros on Tuesday.
Dom bomb
Dominic Smith hit his second homer of the spring, a three-run blast in the third inning against Nivaldo Rodriguez, in the Mets’ 8-3 exhibition victory over the Astros on Tuesday at Clover Park.
Cold march
Jonathan Villar went hitless in a pinch-hitting appearance and is 3-for-19 (.158) in the Grapefruit League.
Caught my eye
Kevin Pillar made a sliding catch in right field in the fourth inning behind Jacob deGrom, only moments after Brandon Nimmo reached above the fence to steal a possible homer.
Wednesday’s schedule
Joey Lucchesi, who is competing for a rotation spot, is scheduled to pitch against the Marlins in Jupiter. Robert Gsellman and Jerry Blevins are among the other pitchers scheduled for the Mets.
