Factoids! From Elias, MLB, and ESPN:

The 25 runs set a new record for the Washington/Montreal franchise.

It was the most-lopsided loss in the Mets' 57-season history, topping the 26-7 pounding the Phillies gave them on June 11, 1985.

The 25 runs are the most by a non-DH team since the Cubs scored 26 against Colorado on August 18, 1995.

The Nationals became the first non-DH team with all nine starters scoring at least two runs since the Yankees did it against the Philadelphia A's on May 24, 1936 (25-2).
