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.

A day game Thursday will be the Mets' chance to avoid losing three of four to a last-place team.
