JUPITER, Fla. — Steven Matz was visibly upset as he entered the visitors’ clubhouse at Roger Dean Stadium on Thursday.

Yes, it’s only the exhibition season, but the Mets lefty had allowed three earned runs over four innings against the Marlins and wasn’t about to dismiss his relief appearance.

“I’m disappointed,” Matz said on a day the Mets won 6-5. “I’m starting to want results a little bit and they are not there yet.”

In three appearances this spring, Matz has a 7.00 ERA. He allowed five hits and one walk against the Marlins.

“Out of the gates I felt good,” said Matz, who pitched two scoreless frames before allowing a run in the sixth and two in the seventh. “I felt my curveball was working decent and that’s usually the last thing that comes, so I am happy with that.”

Jacob deGrom started the game and fired three shutout innings. The righty had skipped his previous scheduled start because of back stiffness and the team’s scheduled two-hour bus ride to Lakeland.

“Before it was just a little stiff and I think that was a good decision to skip that start and come back today,” deGrom said.

David Wright is scheduled to make his Grapefruit League debut on Friday as the Mets’ starting third baseman against the Nationals. On Thursday, he went 0-for-3 in a minor league game at the Mets’ spring training complex.

The Mets are playing it cautious with their captain, who is managing spinal stenosis.

Asdrubal Cabrera could be in position to avoid a stint on the disabled list to start the season, according to manager Terry Collins. The shortstop, who has a strained tendon in his left knee, has begun riding a stationary bike and will likely begin tracking pitches in the batting cage.

Collins said he may go with fewer than seven relievers to start the season because of the three off days in the first week. If the Mets go with six relievers, both Eric Campbell and Matt Reynolds could make the roster regardless of Cabrera’s status.

Yoenis Cespedes, who was scratched from his last scheduled start because of hip soreness, returned to the lineup and went 1-for-2 as the designated hitter.

Edwin Jackson plunked Cespedes in his right hand in his final plate appearance, but Cespedes said the hand was fine.

Cespedes has dealt with hip soreness in previous years, but said it has been treated with compression.

Training Day

Rocky finish

Sean Gilmartin, who is a possibility to begin the season in the bullpen, allowed two earned runs on three hits in the ninth inning. The lefty has a 4.50 ERA in three appearances this spring.

Caught my eye

Alejandro De Aza is quietly having a nice spring for the Mets. The veteran outfielder was on base three times Thursday and is hitting .455 in the Grapefruit League.

Friday’s schedule
