New York Mets Can’t Get Out of Their Own Way in 2-1 Loss

The New York Mets season has two scripts to it. Either their pitching forces them to lose by a touchdown or they leave a small village on the bases. In the 2-1 loss to the Washington Nationals, it was the pathetic offensive effort that prevented them from getting a victory.

The Mets made Max Scherzer throw 29 pitches in the first inning, but they did not score.

Three more men left on base brings the Mets' MLB-leading total to 145 in less than 18 games.

Nationals 1, Mets 0 after one.
