XPGT: 2/26, NYM @ WAS

[Edgy MD]

Ashborough elected not to honor his one-game winning streak by starting a thread for today's exhibition against division rival Washington Nationals, but not to worry, as the Mets https://www.mlb.com/gameday/mets-vs-nationals/2024/02/26/748226/final/boxpowered past those DC elitists by a score of 6–3.



Max Kranick started and threw two perfect innings for the win, Jett Williams collected his first knock in a Mets uniform, and Pete Alonso hammered two doubles in two trips to the plate, but the offensive star of the game was leftfielder Trayce Thompson, who went 2-for-3 with 5 RBI, four of them coming on a third-inning grand salami against big Washington lefty Robert Garcia.



Joander Suarez, who has appeared in only three games above high A, but been remarkable enough to garner https://phpbb3.leaptoad.com/mets/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=32718&p=137543his own Crane Pool thread, finished up with two shutout innings to lock down the save.
