Great to see Duda back in there. Hopefully his injury issue is a thing of the past.

AdamRubinESPN Daniel Herrera (back) also on #Mets trip.

Niese worked around another Ronny Cedeno error in the 1st and then Mike Nickeas delivered an RBI double in the top of the 2nd.

1-0 Mets, bot 2

Top of the 1st - Torres singled and stole second, but Turner a GO, Davis a called K, Duda a FO

Bottom of the 1st - Cedeno committed an error and Niese hit Fielder with a pitch, but got out of the inning without giving up a run.

Top of the 2nd - Thole walked and went to second on a wild pitch, then scored on a double by Mike Nickeas. Mets are one up.

Bottom of the 2nd - Avila singled, but then three sraight Ks for Niese

Niese with 2 solid innings so far against what appears to be the Tigers "A" line-up.

Niese quietly seems on his game this spring so far. Niese by a nose!

Well he's got a spot locked up so he can breathe easier

Personally, if Niese can have an entire solid year (meaning no second half fall off like he has had) I'd love to see the Mets lock him up through his first 2 years of FA. Whether he's already as good as he will be or if he has untapped upside he's a valuable player and locking up him would save us money in the long run.

Niese in trouble in 3rd. Back to back singles by Jackson and Inge with the big boppers Cabrera and Fielder coming up.

Cabrera singles in Jackson. 1-1. Still 1st and 2nd no outs

Niese not doing so well in the 3rd, though--three straight singles to Jackson, Inge, and Cabrera, and the game is tied up.

Another single to Young, and a sac fly to Avila - and its 3-1 them.
