Last night, the New York Mets (26-18) and the Washington Nationals (27-18) began their three game series at Nats Park. It was the first of two pitching rematches from last week’s series as Bartolo Colon took on Gio Gonzalez, but it was Colon who got the win last night
Even in a loss, Daniel Murphy picked up another multi-hit game. The former Mets’ second baseman is hitting .389 this season, has a .407 average in May, and is 6-for-15 with a home run and four RBI’s against the Mets.
As for Gonzalez, while he has been one of the best pitchers in the Nats’ rotation, he had his worst outing of the season last night.
