Washington Nationals suffer loss extra inning loss vs. Mets, 16-7

It was another slow start for the Nationals . After a successful weekend against the Orioles, fans hoped the strong performance they displayed would carry over to Monday night. But the Nats just couldn’t seem to hold one in extra innings against the Mets, after falling 16-7 in game one of the four game series.

It was James Wood who helped the Mets get on the board first. Mets Tyrone Taylor would have just singled to right but Wood had a single fielding error and a single fielding error that gave enough room for Taylor to sprint all the way to third. Then when Mets Luis Torrens stepped up to bat, he found himself hitting a double straight down left to bring in Taylor for the first run of the game.

But hopefully those would be the only errors that the Nationals would have for the remainder of the game. The Nationals continue to struggle when it comes to staying away from earning errors. However, the Nationals were not going to let the Mets get one on them that quickly.

After a hit by pitch to Jacob Young's ribs, who could head to the injured list in favor of Dylan Crews , Joey Wiemer ran for Young. With one runner on, it was the bottom of the Nationals order that started the night off. José Tena doubled to left to bring Wiemer in for the run to tie things up in the bottom of the second.
