NEW YORK — Jose Iglesias had three more hits, including a two-run single that snapped a sixth-inning tie and vaulted the New York Mets over the Washington Nationals 6-2 on Wednesday night.
Brandon Nimmo homered for a career-best third straight game and Mark Vientos hit a tying double as the Mets (46-45) won for the 10th time in their last 12 at home to pull within a half-game of San Diego for the final NL wild card.
New York was 11 games under .500 on June 2, two days after Iglesias was called up from Triple-A Syracuse.
