[Edgy MD]

Mets are trying something different, starting Jeurys Familia. Perennial #6 starter Joe Ross goes for DC.



Conforto and Nimmo have switched positions, and the Nationals are rolling out all the Kiebooms.

[Edgy MD]

And a Kieboom! off the bat of Conforto gives the Mets a 2-0 lead in the bottom o' the first.



Dowdy throwing the second.

[Edgy MD]

Kyle Dowdy has to face the bases loaded after a hit and two walks, but gets out of it on a grounder to short.

[Edgy MD]

Dowdy ended up going three shutout innings. If he makes the team, this will be the day he turned the corner.

[Edgy MD]

We have a Carlos Gomez appearance.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

What number is he wearing

[Edgy MD]

I didn't note it. He's taken over in right, so I'll keep my eyes open.



Spencer Kieboom just Kaboomed the Nats into a tie. No-doubter line drive. Ronny says Tim Peterson was going to the first-pitch fastball too much.

[Edgy MD]

Leadoff double in the seventh for Mesoraco. Guillorme bunts him over.

[Edgy MD]

Itchy Verria plates him with a deep fly to right. Mets back on top.

[Edgy MD]

Lou-Z eighth for Zamora, as lower level minor league floaters for the Nats bat him around and the Nats lead 4-3.



Bases loaded and two out for Spencer Kieboom. Nats can break it open here.

[Edgy MD]

Mets down 6-3 after the Zamora debacle, but now they have two on and no outs after back-to-back singles by Nimmo and Rajai. Alonso at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

Somehow Alonso drives one into the pitcher's foot so hard that it rebounds into foul territory. Bezes loaded.

[Edgy MD]

New pitcher. Go-Go back at the plate.

[Edgy MD]

And he goes down hacking.



Dominux Smith now up.

[Edgy MD]

Liner up the middle scrapes off the shortstop's glove and it's a two-run single and a one-run game!

[Edgy MD]

Meso goes down swinging at junk in the dirt. Two out.

[Edgy MD]

Guillorme walks and Hechaverria at the plate with the sacks juiced again.

[Edgy MD]

Lonely-assed thread.



Toffey shows nice wheels as he leads off with a bunt single.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I'm reading it anyway. Best way I know how to follow the game.



I guess hechaveria didn't drive in the tying and go-ahead runs with a triple off the wall

[Edgy MD]

A 400-foot out by Nimmo, a strikeout on a dubious pitch for Rajai, and then, with McNeilio abat, Toffey gets thrown out trying to advance on a pitch in the dirt.



Pretty good day for Nimms, but the score came down against the Mets.
