WASHINGTON -- The Mets' offense has been built on home runs, as they entered Sunday leading the National League in the category. They were powered by home runs once again in their 6-5 victory against the Nationals in the first game of Sunday's split doubleheader at Nationals Park.
Asdrubal Cabrera (aka "Chiquitín" for Players Weekend) launched a three-run homer in the first inning, Wilmer Flores (aka "Catire") followed with a two-run homer in the third (his career-high 17th) and Amed Rosario punctuated the victory with a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth.
