Joe Ross gave up two home runs over his last four starts and 23 IP before today’s outing, but gave up two in five innings this afternoon, both of them two-run blasts by the Mets’ shortstop Francisco Lindor, who drove in five runs total, all off Ross, in what ended up a relatively quick, 5-1 win over New York’s NL East rivals from Washington, D.C. in Nationals Park.
Ross vs the Mets: Joe Ross gave up five hits, a walk, and one earned run in six innings on the mound in Citi Field when he faced the Mets back in April.
