ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) Adam Scott wasn't at his best Thursday in the Arnold Palmer. These days, that's not enough to keep him from the lead.

The righthander will begin this season the way he ended the last — facing the Kansas City Royals. “It means a lot,” said Harvey, who joins the likes of Tom Seaver and Dwight Gooden as Mets Opening Day starters. “That kind of makes the whole process a little surreal, I think.
