Here are some nuggets from Mets spring training on Saturday:
Francisco Lindor blasted a two-run homer in the Mets’ 4-4 exhibition tie with the Cardinals at Clover Park.
The homer was Lindor’s third this spring, one behind Pete Alonso and Ronny Mauricio for the team lead.
Jimmy Yacabonis had a second straight shaky relief outing after a strong stretch to begin the spring.
The right-hander walked two and allowed one run in the sixth inning.
Brandon Nimmo played seven innings in center field and went 0-for-3 in his return to the lineup from a sprained right knee and ankle.
The Mets will play their Grapefruit League finale, with Justin Verlander a possibility to face the Marlins at Clover Park.
But Verlander also could pitch in a minor league game, given that his first regular-season start will be against the Marlins.
