The Mets bullpen worked four innings, giving up only 1 run by way of Bryce Harper's homerun in the 6th inning, as the New York Mets came back to beat the Washington Nationals 3-2.
The win ensures the 3rd straight series win for the New York Mets, who improve to 6-1 on the season and take a 1 1/2 game lead over the Washington Nationals heading into Sunday's series finale.
Steven Matz went five innings, giving up three hits and one earned run, but did not return in the 6th inning as his pitch count reached 93. Hansel Robles took over for the 6th inning, with his lone blemish being the home run he gave up to Bryce Harper. AJ Ramos came out for the 7th inning, but then Mickey Callaway played strategic in the 8th inning, having Jacob Rhame to face Matt Reynolds to start, then pulled him for Jerry Blevins to face Harper. Harper reached on a walk, leading to Callaway to call upon Jeurys Familia to pull off a five out save.
Familia was perfect, as none of the 5 he faced reached base.
