Mets Lose to Nationals in Walk-Off
The New York Mets got a sterling performance from designated hitter Rafael Devers, but the Washington Nationals still prevailed, 6-5. Devers was 2-4 with a home run. He drove in 4 runs and scored once. The defeat makes New York 71-56.

The decisive blow was delivered by Mike Tauchman in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 37-year old right-handed pitcher Joe Kelly to win the game for Washington. The home crowd went nuts.

"Great to get the crowd on its feet," Tauchman said.
