Another day, another Mets injury. On the same day we learned Matt Harvey and Neil Walker will be lost for several weeks, Juan Lagares fractured his left thumb on an attempted diving catch as the Mets lost to the Nationals Thursday night.
Bryce Harper got things started in the first inning with a laser beam of a solo home run into the seats in right.
Robert Gsellman wriggled out of trouble in the second when he got the final three outs after the Nationals got runners on second and third with no outs.
