Mets

The Mets navigated through the elements in D.C. to come away with a 2-0 win. Starter Clay Holmes had to warm up several times and manager Carlos Mendoza decided to pull him after five innings. The bullpen once again did the job keeping the Nationals off the board, but lost a key member when A.J. Minter exited in the eighth inning with a triceps injury. The game's only runs came off the bat of Francisco Alvarez, who talked about being more balanced at the plate and it paid off with his two-run shot.

He thought Francisco Alvarez's two-run homer to right field was "impressive" and proved to be the only runs scored in the game.
