The Mets (69-66) were defeated by the Washington Nationals (79-55) tonight at Citi Field by a score of 4-1.
Pitching:
Noah Syndergaard toed the rubber for the Mets this evening against the rival Washington Nationals, and allowed two runs on three hits, while walking one and striking out four over the span of seven innings.
Fernando Salas pitching in his second game for the Mets pitched a clean eighth, striking out two batters in the process.
The game was 2-1 going into the ninth, but Jerry Blevins and Hansel Robles combined to let up two runs, forcing the score to 4-1.
Offense:
The Mets faced off against A.J. Cole and were stymied, as they could muster up all but three hits.
The lone run they got came off the bat of Asdrubal Cabrera, who launched his 19th home run of the year in the fourth inning.
This would be it for the Mets offense tonight, as the Nationals thoroughly shut them down the rest of the way.
On deck:
Robert Gsellman (1-1, 3.72 ERA) takes on Tanner Roark (14-7, 2.87 ERA) tomorrow night at Citi Field. First pitch is at 7:10 PM.
