A rough weekend series in Washington came to a fitting conclusion Sunday, as the Mets dropped the finale 5-2. Kyle Schwarber continued his recent Lucas Duda-esque tear, following up his two home run performance on Saturday with three homers and four RBI in this one. That was more than enough to beat the Mets, whose offense was still largely stagnant despite facing the struggling Patrick Corbin.
Things got off to an inauspicious start in the first. Francisco Lindor was robbed of a hit by Josh Harrison on a hard hit ground ball, short circuiting what could’ve been an early scoring threat.
