Wednesday night in Washington, Jordan Zimmerman out-dueled
Jacob DeGrom as the Nationals beat the Mets 2-1. DeGrom made one mistake. That came in the
bottom of the first inning. Yunel Escobar singled. Then a batter later Ryan
Zimmerman took a DeGrom offering over the left field wall to make it 2-0. In the top of the 2
nd the Mets answered
right back. Following back to back
singles by Daniel Murphy and Juan Lagares, Travis d’Arnaud singled home Murphy
and it was 2-1. After that both
Zimmerman and DeGrom went unblemished in the run department, but the Met
offense failed to pull them through.
DeGrom went 6 allowing 6 hits the 2 runs (both earned) walking 2 and
striking out 6. He’s the tough luck loser falling to 0-1. Zimmerman went 6 as
well, allowing 5 hits, a run (earned) and striking out 4 notching the win, he’s
now 1-0. Rafael Montero made his 2015
debut with a pair of scoreless innings in relief. Drew Storen notches his first save on the year for Washington. Thursday
afternoon at 1:05 est the Mets conclude their first series of the year. Matt
Harvey makes his return to the mound for the Mets. Fellow fireballer Stephen
Strasburg goes for the Nats.

Oh well, Happy Harvey Day tomorrow
If u told me last week the mets would be heading into thursday with chance to win a road series against everybodys damn world series pick I'd be ecstatic.
I can't believe I'm already talking about a 'game of inches'...
a bad bunt... a single pitch to Zimmerman... and a framed ball four to Granderson... any one of these would have changed the makeup and outlook of the game.
No more pitcher injuries.
You can't average 5 hits a game and win two in a row against a team like this
Nice appearance by Montero
Even the best of the best lose 60 games. This team will shake it off and move on.
