Nationals 1, Mets 0: Quiet Bats and a Flub Send the Mets to Another Loss

A week and a half ago, the Mets were the hottest team in baseball, having won 11 straight games. Citi Field was shedding its longstanding reputation for being desolate for much of April, attracting boisterous fans who, having been roused from their hibernation, were championing the ballpark as the home of the best pitching staff in the major leagues.
