Francisco Lindor and Jared Young Homer to Lead Mets Past Nationals 4-1
On Friday night at Citi Field, Francisco Lindor and Jared Young homered to power the New York Mets to a 4-1 victory over the Washington Nationals before 30,660 fans.
The Nationals took an early lead in the third inning after a fielding error by Lindor allowed Brady House to plate the game's first run on an RBI single.
Lindor atoned for his mistake with a game-tying solo home run in the sixth inning, followed by Carson Benge delivering a tiebreaking RBI single off Andrew Alvarez.
Jared Young extended the lead with a solo home run and Bo Bichette added an RBI single, while Jonathan Pintaro earned his first career win and Kodai Senga recorded his second save.
The series continues on Saturday, when LHP Sean Manaea will start for the Mets against RHP Brad Lord, who is scheduled to pitch for the Nationals.
