Josh Bell homered and drove in two runs, rookie reliever Cole Henry pitched out of a jam in the sixth inning and the Washington Nationals held on to beat the Mets 5-4 on Wednesday night, ending New York's three-game winning streak.
Bell's 16th homer was a 420-foot line drive to the right-field stands in the fifth against the struggling Kodai Senga (7-5), who allowed five funs (four earned) in five-plus innings.
New York's Brett Baty hit his 15th homer, a 455-foot rocket in the fifth. Nationals right fielder Dylan Crews stood still as the ball flew into the second deck.
