In a disappointing 5-0 loss to the New York Mets, the Washington Nationals struggled offensively, finishing with only six hits, primarily singles. Despite a solid outing from pitcher Jake Irvin, who allowed three earned runs over five innings, the team could not capitalize on opportunities. Mets' starter David Peterson achieved a complete-game shutout, highlighting the stark contrast in offensive performance between the two teams. The Nationals' manager, Dave Martinez, emphasized the need for improved hitting as the team faces ongoing struggles, having scored only 15 runs in June thus far.
"More than anything, I'm pissed off about it," Irvin said about his outing. "I'm going to use it as fire to keep working and figure stuff out. Disappointed? Hell, yeah. Concerned? Never."
"The boys are playing hard but we got to start hitting," Manager Dave Martinez said. "We got to come back tomorrow and score some runs."
