-Mets 3 Nationals 1: New York couldn’t break through against Washington starter, Tony Armas, Jr., but scored single runs off of the Nationals’ bullpen in the seventh, eighth and ninth for the victory. Michael Tucker homered on the first pitch he saw in the eighth to break the tie and Billy Wagner took over for Darren Oliver and got his 28th save of the season.

- Mets 6, Nationals 4: John Maine's scoreless inning streak surely couldn't last. Former Yankee Nick Johnson ended the streak at 26 with a home run in the 4th inning of last night's win against the Nationals. Maine's chance of winning his third game ended in the 6th inning when the Nationals scored 3 runs, chasing him from the game. The Mets scored two in the 7th to break a 4-4 tie with RBI from Jose Valentin and Michael Tucker. Billy Wagner pitched a perfect 9th inning for his 27th save of the season. And for those readers that like to place the Mets in the AL East for comparison (not sure why you would) - their 70 wins would put them atop the Yankees.
