The New York Mets defeated the Washington Nationals 7-6 tonight to snap their three-game losing streak and improved their record to 66-87. RHP Robert Gsellman got the start in place of RHP Jacob deGrom who was pushed back to Sunday due to naseau and an upset stomach. Gsellman wasn't nearly as good as he was in his last start. He gave up six runs (five earned) on four hits in six innings. Gsellman allowed three walks and had four strikeouts. He wound up with a no-decision. RHP Chasen Bradford came in next and pitched a scoreless top of the sixth inning. He picked up his second win. RHP Paul Sewald pitched a scoreless top of the seventh inning. Sewald came back out for the top of the eighth inning and got the first two outs and was then taken out. LHP Jerry Blevins had to come in to 2B Daniel Murphy for the last out of the inning. RHP A.J. Ramos came in for the ninth inning, but was unable to close it out. Ramos was taken out with one out and runners on first and second. LHP Josh Smoker appeared next and got the second out of the inning. RHP Jeurys Familia was able to get the last out of the game and pick up his fourth save of the season. This was Famila's first save since May 5th.
The Mets offense got an early run from catcher Travis d'Arnaud on a solo homer in the bottom of the second inning. In the bottom of the fifth inning, RF Nori Aoki got the rally started with an RBI single. Later on in the inning, 3B Asdrubal Cabrera hit a RBI single. D'Arnaud hit a three-run homer to tie the game. Aoki drove in another run on an RBI double in the bottom of the sixth to give the Mets the lead.
