Tonight, the Mets are off before heading to Cincinnati to take on the Reds.
Yesterday, the Mets split a double header in Washington. They won game one after roughing up young Nationals prospect Erik Fedde. The Mets led 5-0 before coughing up the lead but in the eighth, Amed Rosario homered to put the Mets up for good. AJ Ramos earned a six-out save and wrapped the game up for New York.
The game had a wild ending as with two outs in the ninth, Daniel Murphy singled and the ball got past Travis Taijeron before Juan Lagares heaved it in to Amed Rosario who got it home to nail pinch-runner Edwin Jackson at the plate.
In game two, Seth Lugo started off well but struggled in the fourth. He only had 70 pitches at his disposal and was pulled in the fourth. The tired Mets bullpen was unable to maintain the rest of the game and despite a late comeback attempt, the Mets lost 5-4.
