The Mets came out on top as they downed the Nationals by the score of 5-3. Another terrific start from Jon Niese who, as pointed out by Jesse Orosco, was consistent with his arm angle and motion when using both his cutter and curveball. Oh yeah, he also did it with the bat when he scored Alex Cora from third with a double. Some other key points and performances on the night...
David Wright- 3 for 5 with a double and a run
Alex Cora-1 for 4 with a clutch triple to clear the bases with 2 outs
and of course...
Jon Niese- 7 IP, 6H, 1ER, 0BB and 8 K's(career high)
The final out came when Francisco Rodriguez, who let up two runs in the inning, picked off Roger Bernadina at second base. It was good to see the Mets come out on top after a disappointing walk off loss last night.
