"Washington center fielder Jacob Young, who made a circus, kicking catch in the fifth inning to rob Brett Baty of an extra-base hit, made the biggest play of the day in the bottom of the ninth when he made a leaping catch at the wall to take back pinch-hitter Francisco Alavarez's potential game-tying home run."
"The Nationals plated all three of their runs in the second inning off opener Sean Manaea, who got the start in a second-straight piggyback game alongside Clay Holmes, who started last week's experiment against the San Diego Padres. Bronx native Nasim Nunez provided the big blow with a two-run home run after Jorge Alfaro's double and a throwing error by Francisco Lindor plated the game's opening run just moments earlier."
The New York Mets fell 3-2 to the Washington Nationals in the regular-season finale at Citi Field, leaving their one-game Wild Card lead at risk. Washington scored all three runs in the second inning, including a two-run homer by Bronx native Nasim Nunez and a run after a Francisco Lindor throwing error. Sean Manaea served as the opener in a piggyback start. The Mets scored once in the third following a Luis Torrens double and a play involving Cedric Mullins and Daylen Lile. Jacob Young made a game-saving leaping catch at the wall in the ninth to deny a potential game-tying home run, forcing the Mets into scoreboard watching as Cincinnati led the Cubs for contention.
