Quintana, Lindor, and Nimmo lead Mets to victory in series opener

Jose Quintana was great, and Francisco Lindor and Brandon Nimmo combined to drive in six runs as the Mets won their series opener over the Nationals by a 7-5 score.

Lindor got the Mets on the board with an RBI single in the bottom of the second, and Nimmo came up next and hit a fly ball to left field that just kept carrying until it wound up being a three-run home run. And in the sixth, Lindor hit a two-run home run to put the Mets up 6-0.

Quintana threw seven scoreless innings, struck out five, walked one, and gave up just one hit on 103 pitches.
