The New York Mets just dropped their second game in a row to the Washington Nationals earlier today. Similar to last night, the Mets lost 7-1. Their offense looked lifeless and the game got out of hand quickly for the New York Mets.New York Mets@MetsFINAL: #Mets 1 - Washington 7133491FINAL: #Mets 1 - Washington 7The Nationals put one up on the board in the top of the first, thanks to an RBI single by Luis Garcia. The Mets retaliated in the second inning with their only run of the game. In the third, Washington put up four runs after a string of hits and a fielding error by Jeff McNeil.In the top of the fifth inning, Nationals infielder Cesar Hernandez hit his first home run of the season. This was after almost 500 at bats this season, which is an enormous home run drought. This put the Nationals up 7-1 and they cruised the rest of the way.bloopy’s burner (84-51)@gobraves69420@Mets no trumpets today?@Mets no trumpets today?kevin parada hof@alonsoformvp@Mets Tell Steve Cohen to buy a better offense next year2@Mets Tell Steve Cohen to buy a better offense next yearThis was the second loss in a row for the Mets, with both coming against Washington. Last night's game saw the Mets get one run off Patrick Corbin, who currently has the worst ERA in all of baseball.New York Mets fans were outraged over the lack of offense from the team these past two games. The entire New York offense has scored just two runs in the past 18 innings, with multiple star players going on slumps.conor💀@zuleboy3@Mets The line up should be ashamed of themselves today.

There was a point in the season when the Mets held more than a 10-game lead over Atlanta.However, the Atlanta Braves have been red hot since the end of June and have been creeping up on the Mets. Now, the Braves are just one game behind, and could easily become first in the division in a few days.mark@MUebe_5@Mets I think we need to sit back and appreciate this team. We’ve taken care of business to the point this series loss almost seems like a shock. This team has been absolutely elite since the year started and it’s been such a gift to watch them. First “let down” of the season.. IN SEPT28@Mets I think we need to sit back and appreciate this team. We’ve taken care of business to the point this series loss almost seems like a shock.

If they don't, there is a good chance the Atlanta Braves could surpass them.
