Patrick Corbin held the New York Mets to three runs on 11 hits in seven innings of work this afternoon in the nation’s capital, but the Washington Nationals’ lefty did give up a solo HR by Pete Alonso in the sixth, which was his NL-leading 34th HR allowed.
Alonso’s HR put the Mets up 3-2, the lead held up through eight, but closer Edwin Díaz gave up leadoff and one-out walks, and a game-tying RBI single by Andrew Stevenson, 3-3. And Carter Kieboom stepped in next and hit a grounder up the middle to bring Josh Bell in for a 4-3 win.
