The Mets began their three-game series in Washington with a 4-2 victory over the Nationals.
The game began as a pitcher’s duel, with both Patrick Corbin and Carlos Carrasco putting up zeros across the first four innings. Both the Mets and Nationals put men on first and second in the fourth, but only the Nats could plate a runner. Maikel Franco hit a double to score Josh Bell, but Yadiel Hernandez tried to make it a pair and was thrown out by a mile at home plate.
Riley Adams would add a solo home run in the fifth to put the Nats up by two.
