After quite an eventful day leading up to game time, the Mets defeated the Nationals by a score of 5-3 at Citi Field.
Amed Rosario and Pete Alonso brought the thunder early when they both hit solo shots in the first to put the Mets on the board. They tacked on another two runs in the third on back-to-back RBI hits by Todd Frazier and Carlos Gomez and the Mets held a comfortable lead against Patrick Corbin.
Starting opposite him was Wilmer Font who was ok in four innings of work.
