Beat the Mets: Nats make it seven in a row
Daniel Murphy hit a first inning grand slam against his former team on Sunday against the Mets (AP)The Nationals have won seven consecutive games, matching their season high from a year ago. They have started this three-city, 10-game road trip with six wins in a row, guaranteeing themselves a winning road trip.
Wheeler settled in after allowing Murphy's homer, completing the next six scoreless innings. He went seven innings for the first time since 2014 with six strikeouts. Michael Conforto continued his hot start with a solo homer in the first and Neil Walker hit a two-run homer in the third, but it was not enough as the Mets have now dropped eight of their past nine games.
