Mets suffer historically embarrassing loss against Nationals

On a day where the acting-GM triumvirate (GM-virate?) announced that the plan going forward is to build around the Mets’ pitching, there was no pitching to be found hours later as the Mets lost 25-4, the worst deficit in franchise history.

Before the game, Gary Cohen mentioned Steven Matz had never given up a run at Nationals Park. That all changed very quickly in the first inning. Trea Turner singled, then stole second and third to start the inning. It was all downhill from there.
