In their series against the Nationals, the Mets were the best team for 26 1/2 out of the 27 innings played. The half inning where the Nats were better ended in a heartbreaking loss and cost the Mets a three game sweep.

Despite all of the heartbreak and agony, somehow the opportunity is still there for a comeback. On Friday, they start a three game series with the Phillies at Citi Field while the Cubs head to Milwaukee to take on the Brewers in a four game series on Thursday.
