Jose Iglesias called out to the Citi Field crowd twice on Wednesday night: Once on his go-ahead RBI hit in the sixth inning and again on his heads-up run two batters later.
It was the kind of performance that has endeared the veteran infielder to Mets fans over the past two months—as if he could get any more popular.
With another strong start from Luis Severino and good production from Iglesias, the Mets (46-45) beat the Nationals 6-2 Wednesday night at Citi Field. The win once again puts the Mets above .500 and gives the Mets a 7-2 record against the Nationals this season.
