FLUSHING, QUEENS, NY: Austin Voth finally made his MLB debut, but the New York Mets were able to string together hits against Washington’s 26-year-old right-hander and they scored three in the second and four in the fifth in what ended up a 7-4 win for the home team in Citi Field.
Bryce Harper hit an RBI single off Mets’ starter Zack Wheeler in the sixth, Anthony Rendon drove in a run with a groundout, and Matt Adams hit a two-run home run in the eighth, but it wasn’t enough to avoid a second straight loss in the next-to-last game before the All-Star Break.
