The Mets, who we must remind you are good, took the opening game of a three-game series with the Nationals with a 4-2 win this evening.
Carlos Carrasco started for the Mets, and looked sharp early on, striking out four across the first three innings. Unfortunately, Patrick Corbin looked sharp as well, limiting the Mets to just two hits and a walk over the first three innings.
The fourth inning proved to be the busiest on the basepads early on. The Mets got the leadoff man on with a Francisco Lindor infield single. Pete Alonso then drew his second walk of the game, putting two on with no out.
