Then in the 8th, Curtis Granderson reached on an infield single and that was all the offense for the Mets.  Zach Wheeler started and finished his 2014 with a loss. The Nationals scored three times of Wheeler in the bottom of the 4th on a fielder’s choice by Tyler Moore,  Wilson Ramos scored on a passed ball and Wheeler hit Anthony Rendon to cap the scoring.
