Marlins and Mets Battle to a 1-1 Spring Training Draw

On March 3, 2025, the Miami Marlins and New York Mets played out a tightly contested 1-1 tie at Clover Park in Port St. Lucie, Florida, during spring training action. The Mets saw a strong return from Kodai Senga, who made his first start of the spring, pitching two scoreless innings with no hits, no walks, and two strikeouts, throwing 31 pitches (20 strikes). David Peterson followed with an equally impressive performance, tossing three innings, allowing just one hit, no runs, and striking out five with 37 pitches (25 strikes). Offensively, the Mets struggled, managing only two hits from Donovan Walton and Jose Azocar, with their lone run coming in a frame that capitalized on Marlins' pitching miscues.

The Marlins matched the Mets' pitching prowess with a solid outing of their own, though their offense also remained quiet for most of the game. Griffin Conine provided Miami’s only run with an RBI single, tying the game at 1-1. The Marlins’ pitching staff kept the Mets’ bats in check, limiting them to just those two hits across the contest. Despite the tie, both teams showcased strong arms, with the Marlins recording three wins and four losses in their spring campaign so far, while the Mets moved to a 4-5-2 record. The low-scoring affair highlighted the effectiveness of the hurlers on both sides, setting an intriguing tone for their upcoming regular-season matchups.
