Smoker came back out for the top of the eleventh inning, but was taken out after a one-out double to RF Bryce Harper and an intentional walk to 2B Daniel Murphy. RHP Jeurys Familia was the last pitcher of the game and allowed a based loaded walk to Trea Turner to give the Nationals a 4-3 lead.
The Mets offense got off to a fast start on a leadoff hitter from LF Michael Conforto in the bottom of the first inning. RF Curtis Granderson tied the game in the bottom of the fourth inning on an RBI single. Granderson was able to tie up the game again in the bottom of the sixth inning on a solo homer.
