Unfortunately for the Mets, their red-hot offense ran into the roadblock that is their home ballpark as they dropped their home opener to Washington 4-0. In the battle of bearded aces, Stephen Strasburg came away with the win as Noah Syndergaard fell victim to another Victor Robles home run.
In an impressive feat of pitching dominance and offensive futility, these two teams combined to tally one hit as they entered the sixth inning. But, even without having a hit, the Nationals managed to score in the second inning after a pair of walks, a wild pitch, and a well-placed sacrifice bunt by Wilmer Difo.
