Lucas Duda and the Mets beat the Nationals again, 3-2 final in Citi Field

New York first baseman Lucas Duda homered twice and doubled in the eventual winning run in the Mets' 3-2 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday night. The Mets trail the Nats by one game in the NL East with one game to play today.

Matt Williams was asked after Saturday night's loss about the decision to stick with rookie right-hander Joe Ross in the top of the seventh inning against hot-hitting New York Mets' first baseman Lucas Duda in what was then a 2-1 game in the Nationals' favor.
