NY Mets at Washington When: 7:05 PM ET, Tuesday, July 21, 2015 Where: Nationals Park, Washington, District of Columbia SportsDirect Inc. The Washington Nationals finally snapped out of their offensive doldrums and hope for a carry-over effect when they host the New York Mets on Tuesday in the second of a three-game series. Washington opened a three-game lead over New York atop the National League East with a 7-2 victory over the Mets and ace Matt Harvey in the series opener. Nationals shortstop Ian Desmond is laboring through an awful season at the plate, but he broke an 0-for-16 slump with a pair of hits and a two-run homer Monday - his first blast since June 28. New York's offense continues to be stuck in the mud, managing only nine runs in 45 innings in the four games since the All-Star break. Harvey plated the only two runs Monday for the Mets, who are 4-for-72 with runners in scoring position over their last nine games. Reigning National League Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom takes the mound for New York on Tuesday against Joe Ross, who will be recalled from the minors to make his fourth career start. TV: 7:05 p.m. ET, SNY (New York), MASN2 (Washington) PITCHING MATCHUP: Mets RH Jacob deGrom (9-6, 2.14 ERA) vs. Nationals RH Joe Ross (2-1, 2.66) DeGrom closed the first half of the season with an overpowering performance, striking out 10 and limiting San Francisco to two hits over eight scoreless innings. It was the ninth quality start in 10 outings for the 27-year-old deGrom, who struck out the side on 10 pitches in the All-Star Game. DeGrom lost both his starts to the Nationals in April, permitting a combined five earned runs and 11 hits over 11 1/3 innings. Ross lost his major-league debut after giving up three runs over five innings against the Chicago Cubs on June 6, but he rebounded with a pair of strong outings in back-to-back victories. The former first-round draft pick limited Milwaukee to two runs over eight innings to earn his first victory on June 13. He turned in an overpowering performance six days later with 11 strikeouts and one run allowed in a 4-1 win over Pittsburgh. WALK-OFFS: 1. Nationals LF Clint Robinson has collected two hits in four of his last seven games. 2. Mets 2B-3B Daniel Murphy is 6-for-39 over his last nine games. 3. Washington promoted RHP Abel De Los Santos from Double-A Harrisburg and optioned RHP Blake Treinen to Triple-A Syracuse on Monday.

I'm willing to write off yesterday as a travel-day-following-an-extra-inning-marathon letdown, IF you take the next two.

I would mow Terry's lawn if he'd just once try Granderson in a run-producing spot.

We will need to win 1-0.

I'm ready for my winning streak. I don't think I've even had one win. So I am waaaay overdue.

Zvon Jul 21 2015 05:20 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

Home plate ump sucks. The Harper at bat should have been over 5 pitches ago. deGrom looks good. 2 Ks in the 1st. 0-0 Mets

Edgy MD Jul 21 2015 05:26 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

Tuning in at 0-0 feels like we're winning somehow.

If all we need is to get Murphy to make contact, and Murphy won't make contact, life is hard. But HEY! Flores breaks through and picks him up. That's the name of it. Pick some suckas up.

Zvon Jul 21 2015 06:00 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

WILMA!!!!! RBI single. W 2 out, no less. 1-0 Mets

Zvon Jul 21 2015 06:03 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

There's your run Jacob! Make the best of it.

DON'T go testing deGrom's defense.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2015 06:21 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

Bringing in the infield with a 1–0 lead? OH, yeah.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2015 06:23 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

K to Desi. Two outs and Ramos up. Him or den Dekker? Who do you want?

Edgy MD Jul 21 2015 06:24 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

I'm gonna guess they should have gone with dD there.

Ramos. Damn. Not a bad pitch. 2-1 Gnats

2nd & 3rd nobody out, us!

Edgy MD Jul 21 2015 06:43 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

This is it. Here's hoping that the uncharacteristically excellent defensive game the Nats brought yesterday remains uncharacteristic, and the Mets can take advantage. LET'S GO WECK-KEE!! Clap! Clap! Clap-clap-clap!

I wouldn't hit for deGrom.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2015 07:37 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

Ruben Tejada, nine game hitting streak. Michael Cuddyer, completing a circuit of the bases on foot. Suddenly, all's right with the world. Yeah, right.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2015 07:39 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

Hmmm... 6 to fucking two. Let's leave Parnell out there and save Jeurys for the big moment tomorrow.

Fman99 Jul 21 2015 07:43 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

Five for 13 tonight with RISP. Over the last ten games prior to tonight, they were 4 for 72 with RISP. That's just daffy.

Zvon Jul 21 2015 07:53 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

I agree with you Edge (Parnell for 2), not the booth. No reason to have Familia out there right now IMO.

Edgy MD Jul 21 2015 07:58 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

Or, alternatively, Robles. But the idea that it puts the bad appearance behind him before they need him in a save situation, that thinking certainly isn't wholly without merit.

Can't find the out of town thread, but Nate Karns for Tampa threw 5 shutout innings and homered for the only run of the game! Mets pitchers - you have been challenged!

That was off Phils Phenom Phitcher Aaron Nola making his ML debut (Nola should pitch for the New Orleans Zephyrs) who pitched pretty well himself: 6 IP, 1 R, 5 H, 1 BB, 6 K. Also hit a single himself

Nymr83 Jul 21 2015 08:38 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

from EliasSports- always nice to see the Phillies hit a new low! In 20,223 games in Phillies franchise history, tonight is 1st time they lost a game 1-0 on a HR by the opposing pitcher

Frayed Knot Jul 21 2015 08:40 PM Re: IGT 07/21 - NYM at WAS -Gm 2• Nats not nice...

Terry had already PH'd for Parnell (the Cuddyer walk) so he wasn't an option to stay in for the 9th. Certainly could have gone to someone other than Familia once the lead got big but managers tend to dislike getting their closers up and then not bringing them in. I too was thinking of letting deGrom hit but it's tough to argue with even before the result turned out how it did. Nieuwenhuis's hit should have been a hit rather than an error - but he also wasn't running immediately so I'm not going to feel sorry for him on that front.

I've felt like the good results we've been getting from Parnell we're illusory. That the other shoe was going to come and come hard and fast. At least, I had felt like that until tonight. His control has been uncharacteristically solid, and now that he's hit 96, I have to think he may be a real asset again. And the Mets may actually have something like three closers.
