The Washington Nationals played a double header against the New York Mets on Saturday, making up the game postponed Friday night because of the weather. It was a drizzly, blustery day at Citi Field. The Nationals had to face two of the Mets young gun pitchers, Noah Syndergaard and Matt Harvey. Gio Gonzalez and Max Scherzer out dueled the Mets pitchers.
Max Scherzer threw his second no-hitter of the season.
With the Nationals eliminated from the playoffs and the Mets headed to the postseason for the first time since 2006, one would think these games were meaningless.
