The Nats ended last night's lost to the New York Mets, 5-3, in unconventional fashion. The Nats trailing by 2 runs with the tying runners on 1st and 2nd base; Willie Harris representing the winning run at home had a three two count on him with two outs. Mets' reliever Frankie Rodriquez turned around and threw to second base as he picked off Roger Bernadina to end the game. It was a disappointing game because the Nats had trailed the Mets by a score of 5-1 entering the bottom of the 9th inning only to lose in disappointing fashion. The Nats drop to 35-46 and are still in last place of the NL East.
