Wright homers as Mets tie Marlins

JUPITER, Fla. — David Wright homered and drove in three runs Friday, continuing his solid spring training for the New York Mets.

Wright hit a solo drive in the third inning for his fourth homer as the Mets and Florida Marlins played to an 8-8 tie, calling it off after neither team scored in the 10th.

Nelson Figueroa had his worst outing of the spring for New York, allowing seven runs and eight hits in 2 2-3 innings.

Wright’s shot made it 5-0 but Florida scored eight runs in the bottom half of the third.

Marlins right-hander Hayden Penn allowed five runs in three innings while subbing for Josh Johnson, who was scratched with flulike symptoms that have sickened several of his teammates this spring.
