Mets waste a great start by Matt Harvey getting just 4 hits (all singles) - 2 to start out the 9th to put the tying and go ahead runs on base but Lucas Duda flied out and Michael Cuddyer grounded into a double play to end it.

Mike Puma NY Post: Pitiful Mets shut out, waste Harvey gem for 5th straight loss. "The Mets (36-35) fell 1 ½ games behind the Nationals in the NL East, and now have the Braves (35-35) on their heels for second, a half length behind them...There’s anemic, and then there’s barely breathing. The Mets fall into the latter category with six runs over their last five games. In four of those games the Mets scored one run or less."

Nats beat the Bucs 9-2 to drop the Mets 1.5 games out of 1st.
