A home run that produced three runs in the 8th inning by Francisco Lindor helped the New York Mets to their seventh straight win on Monday in a 7-3 win over the Washington Nationals.
The shortstop Lindor finished sealing the definitive advantage of the Mets over the Nationals with what was his home run 18 of this season, in a game that was characterized by parity between both teams.
In the 8th inning and with two men on base, Lindor hit the connection all over center field to drive to some Mets that had to come from behind after Dominican Juan Soto scored for the Capitalinos in the very first episode; he himself ended up hitting a homer to bring his team closer in the fourth inning.
Another who also went to the street and collaborated in the seventh victory in a row for the Mets was Pete Alonso, who shot your HR 27 from the campaign.
For his part, the experienced Max Scherzer pitched 6 2/3 innings, recording another quality outing by giving up two earned runs and striking out five.
With the win, the New York Mets remain in first position in the Eastern Division of the National League, accumulating a record of 62- 27 and keeping the Atlanta Braves 3.5 games away, who hold a record of 62-41 and they were on break this Monday.
