New York Mets are coming to town – After dropping two of three against the NL West-leading Los Angeles Dodgers and facing off with two of the best pitchers in baseball, the road will not get any easier for the Nats as the division rival New York Mets come to Washington. The Nats and Mets will square off in three games, finishing with an early afternoon 12:35 p.m. start on Wednesday.
What a few days at Nationals Park for those who like great pitching. The Nats faced Clayton Kershaw and Zack Greinke on Saturday and Sunday, a pair with a combined four Cy Young awards.
