NY Mets at Washington
When: 12:35 PM ET, Wednesday, July 22, 2015
Where: Nationals Park, Washington, District of Columbia
SportsDirect Inc.

The New York Mets have a chance to finish with a .500 mark on a six-game road trip against a pair of division leaders when they visit the Washington Nationals on Wednesday afternoon in the rubber match of a three-game set. New York scored more than five runs for only the second time in 17 games to level the series with a 7-2 victory Tuesday.

The Mets are two games behind first-place Washington in the National League East with a four-game series looming against a third straight division leader in the Los Angeles Dodgers. New York finally came up with some clutch hits, going 5-for-15 with runners in scoring position Tuesday after stumbling through a 4-for-72 stretch in such situations over the previous nine games. Catcher Wilson Ramos broke out of a 2-for-26 slump with a two-run blast for the Nationals, boosting his career average against the Mets to .340 with nine homers and 37 RBIs in 45 games. Washington right-hander Jordan Zimmermann opposes rookie Noah Syndergaard in the series finale.

TV: 12:35 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), MASN (Washington)

PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Noah Syndergaard (4-5, 3.05 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Jordan Zimmermann (8-5, 3.27)

Syndergaard suffered his first defeat in more than five weeks despite limiting St. Louis to two runs and five hits over seven innings on Friday night. The 22-year-old Texan struck out a career-high 13 and yielded one run over eight innings in a victory over Arizona in his previous turn, capping a five-start unbeaten stretch in which he allowed seven earned runs. He's had his issues on the road, going 0-4 with a 4.73 ERA.

Zimmermann's last outing resulted in a no-decision after four innings when the stadium lights went out, but he remained unbeaten over his past five turns. He permitted a total of five runs while going 3-0 over his previous four starts and has not lost since a 5-0 setback versus Tampa Bay on June 17. Zimmermann beat the Mets with six innings of one-run ball in his season debut to improve to 8-5 with a 2.91 ERA against them.

WALK-OFFS:
1. Mets RF Curtis Granderson is 9-for-27 with five runs scored during a six-game hitting streak.
2. Nationals CF Michael Taylor is 1-for-23 with 10 strikeouts over the past six games.
3. Mets RHP Bobby Parnell has not allowed a run in 12 of 13 appearances since returning from Tommy John surgery.

Escobar injured trying to check his swing. He's outta there. Uggla takes over at 2nd.

Uggla K's but K goes to Escobar since he had two strikes before
leaving. One of those little scoring rules you don't see or think of
too often.

Whew! Thor got out of a bases loaded jam in the second.

ughhhhhhhhhhh. Can't be giving these guys extra hacks. Gah, and he walks.

They'll say Flores has no errors at 2nd but he's really not much better over there as far as handling balls hit to him. I've seen him flub at least five plays at 2nd.

Thor gets out of it.

0-0 Mets after three.

This could be a big factor in the race going forward. He's their second-best hitter.

Great inning. Carig was asked during the radio Q&A to give a yes-no answer to a trade with Milwaukee before 7/31 and said "yes" saying they'd like Parra as a leadoff man.

The rule is 100% subjective, so him calling it a strike literally makes it so.

*if you can't decide looking at video whether to change a call
quickly it shouldn't be changed*

Rinse. Repeat.

Walt F. Terrell. Did it over the course of three starts in 1984.

They said no to Walt, I think, but they haven't given answer yet.
