Jeff McNeil's impressive three-run home run in the first inning propelled the Mets to a 4-3 victory over the Washington Nationals, completing a three-game sweep. Brandon Nimmo contributed as well with a home run, marking his third in two games, while the team extended their winning streak to six games, improving their record to 45-24. Unfortunately, success was shadowed by starting pitcher Kodai Senga's exit due to a hamstring injury after a strong performance, emphasizing both the triumph and trials faced by the Mets this season.
McNeil came through with two outs and two men on in the first inning to put a crooked number on Mike Soroka and the Nationals.
Senga was sublime from the jump... he retired the next 13 batters in a row, which included a stretch between the third and fourth innings that saw him strike out four of the six men he faced.
Brandon Nimmo added his third home run in the last two games in the fifth inning, as the Mets (45-24) have won six straight games.
After hitting just two home runs in his first 27 games of the season, he now has five in his last 11.
