Non-Roster outfielder Matt Clark outfielder had a two-run, pinch-hit double in the ninth inning to give the Mets their only lead of the game.
Top prospect Noah Syndergaard allowed three earned runs and walked three in three innings for the Mets. Juan Lagares raised his spring batting average to .400 with two hits.
