After failing to capitalize on an ideal pitching matchup last night, the Mets pounded Joe Ross en route to a 7-3 win over the Nationals. Noah Syndergaard bounced back from his career-worst outing against the Cubs, while J.D. Davis, Jeff McNeil, and Amed Rosario busted out of slumps and Brandon Nimmo returned to the starting lineup in emphatic fashion.
The first inning seemed like it would be another rough day in D.C.. Joe Ross set the Mets down 1-2-3 in the first, and Trea Turner led off the bottom half with a single.
