The Mets beat the Nationals for the second straight game, winning 4-1 . Marcus Stroman took the mound and pitched very well in the extreme heat, going into the sixth inning in a seven inning game.
The Mets’ bats seemed to come more alive today, producing 12 hits, however some of their woes at the plate continued, as they were only able to score four runs and left seven men on base. All four of the Mets’ runs were driven in by Brandon Nimmo, the first three thanks to a three-run homer in the second inning, and the fourth with an RBI single in the fourth.
