NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — After all their recent success at Citi Field, the Washington Nationals arrived in New York with every reason to think they would extend their lead in the NL East.
Now they have every reason to think they’re in a tight race to the finish.
Jordan Zimmermann gave up three home runs in a span of five pitches, a sudden power strike that sent the Mets past Washington 5-2 Sunday night for a three-game sweep.
“Tonight was one of those nights when I made two mistakes and it looks a lot worse than it was,” Zimmermann said.
