PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Ryan Zimmerman and Jayson Werth homered off ace pitchers Matt Harvey and Noah Syndergaard on Wednesday, driving home five runs to lead the Nationals to a 12-1 thumping of the Mets at Tradition Field.
The loss ended the Mets' Grapefruit League schedule with 13 consecutive winless games, their last victory coming on St. Patrick's Day, though they posted three ties over that stretch. The team is off to play two additional exhibition games in Las Vegas against the Cubs, before opening its season Sunday in Kansas City.
