Mets blow 6-run lead, fall to Nationals on Pete Alonso throwing error in the 9th

CJ Abrams scored the winning run on Pete Alonso's throwing error with one out in the ninth inning, and the Washington Nationals rallied from a six-run deficit to defeat the New York Mets 8-7 on Sunday.

Dylan Crews and Riley Adams homered for Washington, which won on its final at bat for the second time in three days against the Mets.

Alex Call led off the ninth against Ryne Stanek (0-2) with a double down the line in right. Pinch-runner Jacob Young moved to third on pinch-hitter Keibert Ruiz's grounder to second and scored when Abrams slapped a single to right against a drawn-in infield.
