Roy Halladay went the distance for the Phils allowing just the one run on consecutive singles by Daniel Murphy, David Wright, and Carlos Beltran.

Baseball Reference:
2017 - Anthony Rendon has a game for the ages as he goes 6-for-6 with his
first three homers of the year and drives in 10 runs to lead the Nationals to a 23 - 5 drubbing of the Mets. He
joins Walker Cooper as the only two players ever to have 6 hits and 10 RBIs
in one game. Bryce Harper scores 4 runs to give 32 in April, a new major league
record, and Matt Wieters has a pair of homers among his three hits. It is the
most runs in franchise history for Washington. Worse for New York, Noah Syndergaard leaves the game in the 2nd after experiencing arm pain.

Myers faces his first batter in the ninth inning, the Astros closer becomes the
seventh different Houston pitcher to face seven consecutive Mets, a major
league first. Houston manager Brad Mills wears out a path from the dugout to
the mound when he pulls starter Bud Norris from the game and then proceeds to
summon Wilton Lopez, Wesley Wright, Brandon Lyon, Fernando Abad, and Fernando
Rodriguez, to face one batter each in the team's 4-3 victory at Citi Field.

National Pastime.com: With an enthusiastic RFK crowd chanting "Let's go, ground crew" the inexperienced group puts on quite a show of ineptitude when they struggle putting the tarp on a very soggy field during the second rain delay of the rain-shortened 5-3 victory over the Mets. New York files a protest after the game is called off in the bottom of the eighth, claiming the field became unplayable due to Washington's inability to cover the field during the 37-minute stoppage of play.

The Cincinnati skipper shoves the first base ump twice after claiming he was poked in the face, a charge the arbitrator denies, and one never substantiated by major league baseball.
