Francisco Alvarez’s two-run homer was all the Mets needed in a 2-0 win. As often happens, the Nationals struggled to get the ball in the air.

Clay Holmes combined with five relievers on the New York Mets' fifth shutout of the season, a 2-0 win over the Washington Nationals on Saturday.

Mets reliever A.J. Minter will "most likely" head to the injured list after leaving Saturday's game with trainers.

New York Mets reliever A.J. Minter injured his left triceps during a 2-0 win against the Washington Nationals on Saturday and is likely headed to the injured list. The 31-year-old left-hander was facing James Wood with one out in the eighth inning when he appeared to wince after a 3-1 pitch and walked to the back of the mound.

A.J. Minter was removed from his appearance in the Mets' Saturday game against the Nationals after throwing nine pitches.

James Wood singled to drive in the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and the Washington Nationals rallied past the New York Mets 5-4 on Friday night, snapping New York's seven-game winning streak.

The Nationals turned their first triple play during a home game, thanks to missed call that wasn't reviewable.
