After Steven Matz‘s dominating start last night, Lugo struggled today, giving up six runs and 10 hits in just five innings of work. His ERA skyrocketed from 3.55 to 4.75.
Most notably, it was Daniel Murphy who said “hello” to the New York Mets once again. Murph led the charge for the Nats by knocking in five runs and collecting four hits on Tuesday.
