"The New York Mets' postseason chances took a major hit on Sunday with a 3-2 loss to the Washington Nationals at Citi Field, a game that ended with a potential game-tying home run being pulled back in dramatic fashion. Francisco Alvarez led off the ninth with a deep drive to left-center, but Nationals center fielder Jacob Young made a leaping catch at the wall to preserve the lead. It was Young's second highlight-reel grab of the day and effectively ended the Mets' comeback hopes."
"Sean Manaea, making his first start in over a week, lasted just three innings and allowed three runs, all in the second. A misplay by shortstop Francisco Lindor led to one run, followed by a two-run homer from Nasim Nuñez. New York responded with an RBI single by Cedric Mullins in the bottom of the inning and a solo home run from Lindor in the sixth, his 28th of the season."
The Mets lost 3-2 to the Nationals at Citi Field when a potential game-tying Francisco Alvarez home run in the ninth was pulled back by Jacob Young's leaping catch at the wall. Young's grab was his second highlight-reel play of the day and ended the Mets' comeback hopes. The loss, combined with a Cincinnati win, dropped New York out of the third National League wild-card spot; the teams are tied but the Reds hold the tiebreaker. Sean Manaea allowed three runs in three innings. Cedric Mullins had an RBI single and Francisco Lindor hit his 28th homer, but the Mets went scoreless over the final three innings. Mark Vientos was ejected in the sixth, and Clay Holmes tossed 3.2 scoreless innings in relief. The Mets (80-76) travel to Chicago for a three-game series against the Cubs beginning Tuesday at 7:40 p.m.
