The Mets entered the day looking for a sweep of the Nationals, but forgot to tell their bullpen. The Mets lost the game 15-0, with 14 of the 15 runs coming in the Nats’ final two turns at bat. Despite yet another great starting pitching performance, the Met bats yet again fell silent today.
The Nationals got on the board in the sixth inning, when Trea Turner nearly hit a solo home run that, after umpire review, was confirmed to be just a double. A single from Anthony Rendon and a ground out from Juan Soto pushed Turner across for the Nationals’ first run since Wednesday.
