Two days after the Washington Nationals were held hitless through 7 1⁄3 innings by the Los Angeles Dodgers’ left-hander Hyun-Jin Ryu, New York Mets’ righty Noah Syndergaard took another no-hit bid into the sixth before Wilmer Difo singled to break it up.
Though they avoided becoming part of another franchise’s history in each case, the Nats lost both of the games.
Last night, the Nationals were in a 4-0 hole against the Mets early, when they failed to turn a double play in the first, and three batters later, a grand slam put the visiting team ahead.
