Marcus Stroman solid as Yankees and Mets play to 6-6 tie

The Yankees and Mets ended Monday afternoon's matchup in a 6-6 tie.

Here are the key takeaways...

-Marcus Stroman made his final start of spring training, and it was a solid outing for the right-hander, who will now play a much bigger role in the rotation, given the injuries to Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil,and Clarke Schmidt.

Though he allowed a pair of solo home runs to Brett Baty and Pete Alonso, that was the extent of the damage. Stroman went 3.2 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits with four strikeouts and two walks.

Stroman finishes his spring with a 4.73 ERA.

-Ben Rice’s power has been on full display this spring, as he came into this final game with five home runs. He was kept in the ballpark on Monday, but he did fly out to the warning track in right against Max Kranick in the fifth.

Rice went 0-for-3, but he did drive in a run with a bases-loaded walk.

-Jasson Dominguez was one of the few 2025 regulars in the lineup on Monday. Though he struck out in the third inning, the ball got away from Luis Torrens, allowing Dominguez to reach. He then showed off his wheels, stealing second and scoring from there on a Jazz Chisholm Jr. RBI single.

Dominguez went 0-for-3, but he scored a run and later drove in a run with an RBI groundout.

-Pablo Reyes had a cup of coffee with the Mets in 2024, appearing in one game as a pinch-runner and scoring a run, and he got a small measure of revenge against his former team in the top of the second inning when he lined a solo home run to right off of A.J. Minter.

Reyes went 3-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI.

-Spencer Jones homered to left field in the eighth inning, lifting a towering solo home run off of Douglas Orellana, who allowed four earned runs over his 2.0 innings of work.

Jones is still probably a good ways away from the major leagues, but he's posted a .986 OPS this spring.

-Devin Williams and Luke Weaver, the Yankees' one-two punch for the end of games, combined to pitch 2.0 scoreless innings, allowing just one hit while striking out two.

Who was the game MVP?

Reyes, who had a three-hit day.
