Nats Walk Off Mets, 5-4; Second Set of Cuts

A Robles followed by a single by Nasim Nuñez and an error sent home pinch-runner Daylen Lile all the way from first, as the Nats walked off the Mets, 5-4 for their third straight win on Friday night.

Trevor Williams lengthened to four innings in his third ST outing, allowing one run on three hits and a walk and striking out three. The win went to Daison Acosta on a 1-2-3 ninth with a whiff.

Dylan Crews made the start in CF and batted second. He went 2-for-4 with a stolen base and a run scored.

The rest of watchlisters came off the bench or out of the ‘pen:

• Andrew Pinckney replaced Alex Call in RF and played the 8th and 9th innings on defense. He did not bat.
• Likewise for Cayden Wallace and Luis García Jr at 2B.
• Ditto for Darren Baker and James Wood in LF.
• Brady House subbed for Paul DeJong at 3B and flew out in his lone AB.
• Robert Hassell followed Crews in CF and drew a walk in his only PA.
• Evan Reifert turned in his second clean outing in his fifth appearance, retiring the side in the 7th – two by way of the K.

The Nats (8-5) return to West Palm Beach to play the… wait for it… Cards (6-8) this afternoon. DJ Herz is slated to make his third ST start. The game can been seen on local cable access MASN.
