Bay then grounded out to shortstop, while Murphy made it 3-0 with Wright getting to third and Pagan to second.

Gee singled to center, allowing Duda to score the fifth one, with Paulino getting to third. Finally, Reyes hit a sacrifice fly to left as Paulino scored the last point of the run. Nationals’ first reply came in the same fourth term through Zimmerman who cut the deficit to five points, and Morse who scored the second one right afterwards also thanks to a throwing error committed by Reyes.
Washington went even three points behind the away side when Ankiel hit a sacrifice fly to left for Ramos’s third point. But that could only arouse Mets’ two point short run set in the sixth inning. Paulino doubled to center as Bay brought back the four point lead, while Reyes doubled to center for Paulino’s eighth one.
