In Sunday’s 6-4 victory over the Yankees, Mets’ top prospects Carson Benge and Ryan Clifford started but went 0-for-3. Benge’s fifth-inning at-bat resulted in a double play, which Mets manager Carlos Mendoza deemed a valuable learning experience. Both players are in spring training, with Benge having performed well in the minors last year and Clifford focusing on improving his outfield skills. Each aims to build on their previous successes as they progress in their careers.
