A glimmer of hope – With the Mets having lost on consecutive days, and the Nationals on a three-game winning streak, the practically shut window of the Nats’ 2015 season has been pried open ever so slightly.
Both teams have 10 games remaining until they face off in the final series of the regular season in New York and the Mets lead by six games. If the Nats were to gain three games over their next 10, they could travel to Citi Field with an opportunity to save their season by sweeping that series.
