Meet the Mets
One day after dropping 19 hits in Miami, the Mets collected 13 knocks en route to a 7-3 victory against the Nationals. Unlike in Sunday’s homerless game, the Mets hit two homers, including a solo blast from Pete Alonso in the third and a three-run shot from Francisco Lindor in the sixth, which gave the team some breathing room. Brandon Nimmo also collected four hits in the win. Max Scherzer wasn't at his best but pitched 6 2⁄3 effective innings as he picked up win #197, helping the Mets win their seventh straight in the process.
