Mets Sweep Dodgers Over the Weekend

The Mets finally get their first wins of spring training this weekend by defeating the Dodgers in a home an away series. Saturdays game was a pitchers dual, with both teams combing for just 1 run and 6 hits. The Mets won the game on a bases loaded HBP with one out in the 9th to score the victory.
Game 2 versus the Dodgers featured a lot of bench players for the Mets in Dodgertown. Oliver Perez started and went 2 innings, giving up 3 runs on 5 hits, with some poor defense behind him. Aaron Heilman threw another scoreless inning of relief in the 3rd after coming in for Perez.
The Mets will head into next week with 4 games against NL East opponents and a game against the AL Central Champions from a year ago, Cleavland Indians. That game will be airing on ESPN on Friday and 1pm est.
