The Mets were on the verge of winning for the fourth time in five days against the last-place Nationals, but Edwin Díaz blew his second straight save against the club, this time giving up two runs in the ninth inning to give the Amazins a 4-3 defeat.
Trevor Williams made his third start for the Mets. Through five innings of work, the Nationals were able to scatter a whopping ten hits against him, and he twice immediately surrendered leads by giving up runs in the first and fourth innings. However, he also limited the damage by holding the Nationals to just 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position.
