The Mets‘ slim hopes of recapturing the NL East crown after essentially handing it over to the Atlanta Braves this past weekend continued on Tuesday at Citi Field. It was a rain-soaked doubleheader for New York and the Washington Nationals, which just so happened to be Bark in the Park. One lucky dog went home with a souvenir from Francisco Lindor, too.
After New York took Game 1 by a score of 4-2, the offense went ballistic in the first inning of Game 2. The Mets hung a seven-spot on the Nats in the bottom of the first.
