Mets Top Tribe; Julio to Throw Today

Raul Casanova had a pair of hits and drove in a run as the New York Mets beat the Cleveland Indians, 3-1, on Wednesday night. Aaron Laffey started for the Indians and allowed just one run on five hits over five innings. Jeremy Sowers followed and allowed two runs, one earned, on three hits over three innings. Both are battling with Cliff Lee to be the fifth man in the starting rotation. The Indians lone run came on a solo homer by Jason Michaels. The Indians will continue exhibition play this afternoon as they will be in Winter Haven to host the Tampa Bay Rays. First pitch at Chain of Lakes Park is set for 1:05 p.m.

Jorge Julio is expected to throw this afternoon against the Rays. Julio had to leave Monday’s exhibition game against the Phillies because of a blister on his right index finger. Julio said he felt good after being able to play catch on Wednesday. Julio, who’s in the running for the final spot in the Indians’ bullpen, is 0-and-1 with a 2.57 ERA this spring.
