WASHINGTON -- The Nationals stole six bases and scored 11 unanswered runs to storm back from an early deficit and defeat the Mets, 11-4, on Monday night at Nationals Park.
The game began as a matchup of two of baseball's brightest young pitchers in the Mets' Noah Syndergaard and the Nationals' Joe Ross, but both pitchers got off to rocky starts.
Before Ross recorded an out in the third inning, he had allowed four runs on a career-high nine hits and the Nationals trailed, 4-0. But Ross was able to correct himself and finish the outing strong, as he held the Mets scoreless with only one hit through his final three frames.
