The Mets’ offense put up another impressive performance against the Nationals on Tuesday night, winning 10-0. Trevor Williams got the start and threw 5 shutout innings, while at the plate, Starling Marte and Eduardo Escobar both hit home runs, along with Francisco Lindor extending his RBI streak to 9 games. Carlos Carrasco takes the mound this afternoon as the Mets go for the three-game sweep.
In a move that seemed more and more inevitable, the Mets optioned Dominic Smith to Triple-A on Tuesday afternoon.
