The Washington Nationals doubled up the New York Mets on Thursday night as the Nationals beat the Mets 10-5. The Nationals really needed this win as they need to get back on track and go on a nice winning streak.
Shawn Hill started the game for the Nationals and pitched five innings. He did allow three runs on six hits in the no decision. Mike O’Connor pitched the sixth inning to record the win for the Nationals. Saul Rivera and Jon Rauch both gave up a run in the game.
Felipe Lopez powered the Nationals at the plate as he hit a grand slam in the sixth inning. Lopez finished with six RBI in the game. Cristian Guzman, Ryan Zimmerman, Wil Nieves, and Johnny Estrada all had one RBI in the game. A lot of production for the Nationals which is something they need to happen more often.
