Mets Outslug Nats, 9-7
The Mets put up crooked numbers in three big innings to hand the Nats a 9-7 loss.
Tanner Roark, who was rocked for three runs on Sunday, put on seven baserunners in three innings and let in three of ’em to take the loss.
As mentioned in this morning’s post, Michael Taylor and Adam Eaton were both in the starting lineup, CF and LF respectively. Taylor went 1-for-3 with two whiffs while Eaton homered once in two trips to the plate.
Just three Watchlist players appeared in the game.
• Andrew Stevenson pinch-hit for Sammy Solis in the 4th and struck out.
• Victor Robles subbed for Taylor in CF and went 0-for-2 with a strikeout.
• Osvaldo Abreu was the third SS and flew out to make the second out in the 8th.
Washington hits the road for Jupiter, Fla. to play St. Louis tomorrow. Both the Nats and Cards radio teams will be broadcasting while the St. Louis feed will be broadcast on MLB.tv
And an Ian Sagdal double! Alas, not on the Watch List . . .
Prospects getting less and less playing time as Rizzo and Martinez make decisions on who’s coming north.
