For three games to start the 2022 season, it was pretty dismal for the Washington Nationals as they dropped the first three against the New York Mets at Nationals Park.
It looked like the series finale might follow a similar script with the Nationals down 2-1 heading into the eighth inning. However, thanks to some unlike heroes in Dee Strange-Gordon and Lucius Fox, they played some beautiful small ball to tie the game before Nelson Cruz drove in a pair to give Washington a lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
After the late win, the Nationals head on the road to take on the Atlanta Braves.
