It took twelve innings, but the Mets beat the Nationals on Sunday Night Baseball to complete a sweep of their rivals—the heavy favorites to win the division, if not more—and improve to 7-1 to begin this season. And there’s no such thing as a bad win over the Nationals.
Matt Harvey wasn’t great in his start, which he clearly knows based on his post-game remarks to the reporters that cover the team. He gave up four runs on nine hits in five innings, and the Nationals made loud contact on several of the outs that he recorded.
