					| Nationals Suffer 5-2 Loss to Mets |  
					| The rain came, as predicted, but the New York Mets and Washington Nationals were able to complete their ballgame. 
 New York picked up a win at Citi Field, bumping off the Washington Nationals, 5-2. Pitcher Apostolos Tsatsos was a major reason the Mets emerged victorious. Chris Thurner recorded the save, his 16th.
 
 In the bottom of the seventh, New York third baseman Drtian Thaqi hit a run-scoring  single to left field. The clutch hit made it, 3-2, Mets.
 
 "We believe in ourselves and we're willing to work hard. It's a good combination," Thaqi told the New York Bulletin.
 
 Their 79-76 record puts the Mets second in the National League East Division.
