The Mets dropped the second game of a four-game series to the Washington Nationals 2-1 on Tuesday night. Despite Rick Porcello having a second straight strong start and Max Scherzer being off his game in the first two innings, the Mets were unable to produce and saw their record fall to 7-11 on the season.
Though Porcello put in a strong start, the beginning of his outing was a bit rocky. After giving up a lead off home run in the first inning to Trea Turner, Porcello again found himself in trouble in the top of the second.
