US EditionLile’s Inside-the-Park Homer in 11th Inning Sends Nationals to 5-3 Win over Mets
Daylen Lile's inside-the-park home run in the 11th inning ended a six-game losing streak for the Nationals and was aided by Mets' errors, key in a 5-3 win.
- In the 11th inning, Daylen Lile hit a go-ahead, two-run inside-the-park home run off Tyler Rogers at Citi Field, marking the first extra-innings inside-the-park homer in Washington Nationals history.
- Errors by Soto helped Washington score runs, while Pete Alonso's mistakes contributed to Mets' unearned runs, and Nolan McLean's wild pitch scored Adams in a wild loss.
- After Vientos and Soto pulled New York Mets even, the offense stalled as they went 3-for-16 with runners in scoring position, leaving 13 men on base.
- The result also snapped Washington Nationals' six-game skid and cut New York Mets' NL Wild Card advantage to 1.5 games as Cincinnati Reds closed in.
- With the season winding down, Daylen Lile's hot stretch continues, hitting.377 over his last 20 games with seven homers and three RBIs. Up next, Mets left-handed starter Sean Manaea returns Sunday to face Nationals right-handed starter Jake Irvin in New York's final regular-season home game.
