If there was such a thing as making a statement in April, the New York Mets did just that this weekend against the Washington Nationals. In a game that went to the 12th inning, Yoenis Cespedes delivered his only hit of the night (1-for-6) with an RBI single to center to help the Mets finish off the sweep of the Nats, 6-5. New York has now won five in a row while the Nats have lost five straight.
The 12th inning began when Juan Lagares had a pinch-hit single against Brandon Kintzler.
