Mets outfielder Carlos Beltran played five innings in his first rehab start on Thursday. He went 0-for-2 with a walk for the St. Lucie Mets. "I feel better than what I was expecting, honestly. I'm very happy with the outcome," said Beltran, who had arthroscopic surgery on his right knee on Jan. 13. "I went through the bag real hard and felt great. I'm just looking forward to tomorrow," he said.
