Rich Hill had the Mets cruising towards a win before the Nationals tied the game in the ninth, but a breakout inning in the tenth secured the Mets a 6-2 win against the Nationals Friday night in D.C.
With one out in the top of the second, Javy Báez sent a bloop single into right field and took second base as Juan Soto took a while getting to the ball. Michael Conforto drove him in with an RBI single up the middle that ricocheted off starting pitcher Sean Nolin’s shoulder and provided the Mets with their first run of the game.
