Washington – When the bullpen opened in the left garden before the bottom of Friday’s ninth entrance, it was someone who is not Edwin Díaz entering for the rescue.
That someone for the Mets was Ryne Stanek, who had allowed only a race won around his first 10 appearances this season. But with the rescue in the line, the right feat fell apart.
Stanek delivered two races, sending the METS to a 5-4 defeat against the nationals who broke the winning streak of seven Mets games.
James Wood delivered a simple RBI under the glove of Jeff McNeil that allowed CJ Abrams to score from the first base. The nationals had tied the game in José Tena’s Single RBI against Stanek after Dylan Crews’s initial triple.
Díaz departed from his last departure on Wednesday with a left hip cramp.
The Mets followed 3-0 when McNeil connected a single to lead the eighth. Juan Soto delivered a single from two outs and Pete Alonso walked to load the bases. The slow Grounder of Brandon Nimmo brought a race against left -handed José A. Ferrer before the nationals summoned Kyle Finnegan. But the triple triple of three Mark winds winds (in which the teams divered and lost) a 4-3 advantage cool to the METS.
Jesse Winker hit the first base in the fourth. First base referee Alfonso Márquez ruled that first Nathainel Lowe base, with runners moving from the first and second, caught Winker the ball in a line before throwing the second, where CJ Abrams was credited to record two outs.
The repetitions showed that Winker’s ball hit the ground, but the play was not checked.
Nimmo and winds connected a single to start the entrance and were trapped outside the ball that Márquez ruled Caht for Lowe.
Kodai Senga lasted six innings for the METS and allowed two races won in six hits and two walks with five strikeouts. It was the second beginning in his last three in which Senga launched at least six entries. It was removed after 96 pitches. Senga kept the ball in the park, extending the streak of the Mets to 13 games without a home run allowed by a opening pitcher.
Nimmo’s mental period helped nationals continue 1-0 in the second. Dylan’s teams hit the left garden land that should be a single two outs, but when Nimmo was slowly recovering the ball and then threw it to the third base crews that continued running and reached second place. Tena continued with a simple RBI.
Abrams broke a triple RBI in the third that put the Mets in a 2-0 hole. But Senga recovered to obtain three outs with Abrams scoring. The right -handed struck Lowe and Keibert Ruiz to finish the entrance after James Wood was removed in a check -up foundation in front of the plate.
Abrams’s touch balancing a single against Huascar Brasoban in the seventh gave nationals a 3-0 advantage. Brazoban allowed the single to the crews and had the rally.
