Washington Nationals eliminate New York Mets from postseason contention with 4-3 win in D.C.

Andrew Stevenson extended a hitting streak to 10-straight games with the first of two home runs off New York Mets’ ace Jacob deGrom this afternoon, then hit an inside-the-park homer to tie things up at 3-3 in the fifth.

Max Scherzer gave up three runs on two home runs, a two-run blast to center off of Wilson Ramos’s bat in the third, and a solo shot to center by Amed Rosario in the fourth, but he held it there, striking out back-to-back batters with runners on the corners in the sixth to keep things tied at 3-3.
