Abrams added an RBI single and Washington overcame a late Mets rally to hand New York its 17th loss in 20 games.

  • Shortstop CJ Abrams hit a go-ahead, two-run homer in the eighth inning Thursday, lifting the Washington Nationals to a 5-4 victory over the Mets and dealing New York its 17th loss in 20 games.
  • Reeling after the defeat, the Mets dropped to a major league-worst 10-21 record, struggling through a 3-6 homestand before heading to California for a nine-game trip.
  • Despite overcoming a 3-0 deficit to take a 4-3 lead on a Mark Vientos RBI double in the sixth, the Mets lost a game in which they were ahead for the 10th time this year.
  • Luis Garc singled against Luke Weaver to start the eighth, and Daylen Lile beat out a relay throw to avoid a double play, setting up Abrams' decisive blast. Gus Varland secured his second save.
  • Washington hosts Milwaukee on Friday as RHP Jake Irvin starts against RHP Jacob Misiorowski , while the Mets begin a series at the Los Angeles Angels with RHP Christian Scott facing RHP Walbert Ureña.
