Joe Torre’s return to New York wasn’t a happy one as the Mets beat up on the Dodgers 8-4 Thursday.

  • Nationals 5, Mets 3: Brian Schneider (!) hit his second homer of the year, but that was not a sign of things to come. Claudio Vargas started off well in his Mets debut. That changed in the sixth, when Ryan Zimmerman homered. In the seventh, Vargas walked his fourth batter, got relieved by Aaron Heilman and watched as the the Nats put up a four-spot. Heilman has been dreadful this season, but he has been vilified for his bad work much more than he was ever appreciated for his shutdown work of seasons past. A day game Thursday will be the Mets' chance to avoid losing three of four to a last-place team.
