Observations from Mets’ spring training on Sunday:
The makeshift Mets hit four home runs against Yankees pitching, with Jared Young, Luis Torrens, Hayden Senger and minor league utility player JT Schwartz all going deep — one day after the lineup was held to two hits in the Grapefruit League opener.

The two went hitless in six combined at-bats in their first appearances in a Grapefruit League game.
Pete Alonso homered again Sunday, this time against the Tigers.
It was the first baseman’s second homer in as many spring training games with the Orioles, who signed the ex-Met to a five-year, $155 million contract in the offseason.
