WASHINGTON (AP) - Wilson Ramos hit a first-inning grand slam after Washington failed to complete what should have been a routine double play, Noah Syndergaard took a no-hitter into the sixth, and the New York Mets beat the slumping Nationals 6-2 Tuesday night.
The Mets have won three games in a row. The Nationals, meanwhile, lost for the 11th time in 15 games, fell to 2-12 in series openers and are 16-24 overall. In the NL, only the starting-from-scratch Miami Marlins have a worse record.
Syndergaard (3-3) allowed two runs and four hits in eight innings, lowering his ERA to 4.
