NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Asdrubal Cabrera homered twice and drove in five runs, tormenting his former team again as the Washington Nationals routed the New York Mets 16-4 on Monday night.
Juan Soto and Trea Turner went deep in the third inning for the Nationals, who scored just 11 runs in their previous five games — including Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Orioles, which was suspended in the sixth with Washington trailing 5-2.
Cabrera, who played in 374 games for the Mets from 2016-18, homered for the Nationals’ first run, doubled leading off the fourth, laced a two-run double in the fifth and hit a two-run homer in the seventh.
