The Mets swept the Nationals for their second straight sweep and to bring their homestand to an undefeated 6-0 record. Their offense wasn’t as potent as it’s been the past few days but it did enough. A two-run Tomas Nido single, a Francisco Lindor RBI sacrifice fly, and a eighth inning two-run Nido double (for his fourth hit of the day) did enough to put the Mets ahead, and three runs was more than enough to put the Nationals to bed.
The other reason why the Mets were able to keep the Nationals at bay was their pitching.
