admin Carlos Gomez hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning for the host New York Mets, who grabbed advantage of the struggling Washington Nationals bullpen yet again in a 6-4 win that completed a four-game sweep.
The Mets, who endangered manager Mickey Callaway’s job by getting swept by the Miami Marlins last weekend, swept a 4r-game series from the Nationals/Montreal Expos franchise for the first time since 1991.
The Nationals have missed five straight to fall 12 games under .500 for the first time since the 2010 season.
Mets right-hander Robert Gsellman (1-0) arrived in the eighth inning and blew a 3-1 lead. He walked Juan Soto with one out, gave up a two-out RBI double to Yan Gomes and a two-RBI single to pinch hitter Gerardo Parra as Washington went in front 4-3.
But the Nationals, who entered with the poorest bullpen ERA (6.89) in baseball, imploded yet again in the bottom of the inning.
Wander Suero (1-4), who reassured starter Stephen Strasburg, gave up a leadoff pinch-hit double to Dominic Smith before striking out Todd Frazier and Pete Alonso and intentionally walking Wilson Ramos.
