Season series: Mets lead 6-2
The Mets offense showed up early on Tuesday, scoring the 1st 6 runs on the way to a 7-5 win. SS Francisco Lindor and LF Brandon Nimmo each had 3 RBIs in the game.
The Nationals didn’t score until an 8th-inning 2-run homer by 3B Ildemaro Vargas. But a near collapse by the Mets bullpen kept this game close in the end, with the Nats scoring 3 runs in the top of the 9th. But it wasn’t enough and the Mets (-140) held on as the Over (8.5) hit.
