The Nationals got “Nimmoized” according to Gary Cohen in the Mets 19-5 drubbing of Washington. One day after suffering a crushing walk-off loss, the Mets’ offense got their revenge and then some against the Nationals.
It was a close 3-0 ballgame until the team exploded for sixteen runs over the course of the sixth through ninth innings. Brandon Nimmo had an historic day at the plate with two home runs including a grand slam. His nine RBIs on the day tied a club record with Carlos Delgado for most RBIs in a single game.
Nimmo’s day overshadowed the rest of the offense that was almost as productive.
