Mets rebound in game 2 of this critical series as Jacob deGrom allows just 2 runs and the Mets get some timely pinch hitting from Eric Campbell and 2 National errors to take a 3-2 lead in the 7th.  They add 4 more runs in the 9th. 

Mike Puma NY Post: Eric Campbell rescues DeGrom as Mets even series with Nats. "Terry Collins may have seemed crazy Tuesday for removing ace Jacob deGrom — a good-hitting pitcher — at 82 pitches from a game the Mets trailed by one run in the seventh inning and then summoning someone other than Michael Cuddyer to hit, but Eric Campbell rewarded the manager’s faith in him...Campbell ...smacked Aaron Barrett’s 0-1 breaking ball to right field to give the Mets a 3-2 lead. The Mets, who moved within two games of the Nationals in the NL East, padded that lead with four runs in the ninth."
