Game 2 vs. Nationals (0-1) March 28th, 2021
Eighth spells troubles for Mets
New York, NY - In back-to-back games with the Nationals, the Mets experienced eighth inning woes as Washington capitalized on today's opportunity to win, 3-2.
Carlos Carrasco got the nod to follow Jacob deGrom's win on Opening Day and came through with a strong performance in seven and a third. While Mets management likely kept Carrasco on the mound one batter too long, the thirty four year old looked to be catching fire after following up Victor Robles' eight inning double with a strikeout on Andrew Stevenson.
Following the strikeout, the Nationals' order flipped and Trea Turner put his mark on the game with a huge shot to left. The two-run HR knotted things up for the Nationals as Carrasco was relieved by Trevor May who kept things tied up.
Aside from another big day from Michael Conforto and a solo shot from Pete Alonso, the Mets offense remained inconsistent as Steven Strasburg worked through the usual consistent bunch. Brandon Nimmo scored Michael Conforto off the early triple and Alonso's solo shot was much needed insurance, but two runs is far from enough run support for any starting pitcher. Francisco Lindor recorded his first hit atop the lineup and drew a walk in three tries.
Seth Lugo was charged with the loss as Victor Robles went yard in the top of the ninth and New York failed to squander Brad Hand's close in their final chance.
The Mets will fall even on the early campaign as the three game set will conclude with Taijuan Walker facing off against Patrick Corbin.
