Against all odds, the Mets took down the Nationals 7-6 in an incredible comeback effort. It was one of the more memorable and, pardon the reference, amazing wins this team has pulled off this season.
Marcus Stroman made his first start at Citi Field and, despite a stretch of seven strikeouts in the first three innings, left the game on the hook for the Mets’ loss. Nine hits, three walks, and nine strikeouts just weren’t enough for Stroman tonight.
The fourth inning is where all the early offense happened, with an Anthony Rendon triple and a Juan Soto home run leading to the Nationals’ three runs.
