In a 9-0 hole after three and a half in D.C., the Washington Nationals chipped away and tied it up at 9-9 in the seventh, on a two-out, two-run home run to right by Andrew Stevenson.
It went to extras in the first game of today’s seven-inning doubleheader, but neither team scored their free runner in the eighth, then Francisco Lindor hit a two-run shot to lead off the ninth, putting the New York Mets back on top, 11-9.
Fedde vs the Mets: Erick Fedde faced the Nationals’ NL East rivals from New York twice in August, giving up six hits and two runs in four innings in Citi Field back on 8/12, before he gave up eight hits and six runs (five earned) in 5 1⁄3 IP in Flushing, Queens.
