The Washington Nationals lost game two of their three-game series against the Mets, dropping it 11-8.
The Nats were put in an early 3-0 hole after first-inning defensive mishaps cost the Nats a trio of runs.
The offense provided a spark and got the game back to even at 4-4 in the sixth inning.
In the eighth inning, Trevor Rosenthal, in his first Major League appearance since August 16, 2017, allowed the first four Mets he faced to reach base. He failed to record an out and allowed four earned runs.
Kyle Barraclough entered the game after Rosenthal, and before he threw his first official pitch as a National, he balked, scoring a runner from third base.
