Mets 2, Nationals 0

Stephen Strasburg rebounded from his worst start of the spring, giving up only two hits in five innings, but Lucas Duda homered to help the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 2-0 on Tuesday night. Strasburg struck out three and walked one, throwing 85 pitches. Mets starter Dillon Gee was even better in 5 2-3 spotless innings, allowing three hits - including one to Strasburg. Gee struck out four and walked one. Duda's solo shot with two outs in the fifth was the only run yielded by Strasburg, who is 0-3 with a 5.52 ERA this spring. Ike Davis drove in the other run with a single in the sixth after Jason Bay walked with two outs and stole second. New York improved to 4-11, the worst spring training record in the majors.
