Rich Hill started the night with a 5.79 ERA in three starts and 14 innings pitched against the Washington Nationals this season, but the 41-year-old, 17-year veteran went a masterful six scoreless innings against the New York Mets’ divisional rivals tonight in the nation’s capital, and he left the game with a 2-0 lead only for his club to blow it in the ninth as the Nationals rallied and tied it up at 2-2.
It went to extras in D.C., but the Mets scored four in the top of the 10th and won this one, 6-2 final, handing the Nationals their sixth straight loss overall.
