Mets Allow Five Homers in 8-4 Loss in Make-Up Game Against Nationals

The New York Mets and Washington Nationals played a make-up game from their opening series of the season and the Mets wish they had their off-day back. It only took two pitches for the Nationals to get a lead and they rode it to an exciting 8-4 win and move within three games of first place.

Mets radio broadcaster said starter Jerad Eickhoff began the game by throwing “batting practice” to the Nats, and he was spot on with his description.
