After being swept for the first time in three games, the Mets will travel to Atlanta to face the Braves as they try to get back on track.

Jeff McNeil doubled home the winning run in the 10th inning and the New York Mets rallied past the Washington Nationals 5-4.

Nationals shortstop C.J. Abrams hit a sharp grounder that pulled Pete Alonso away from first base. Running to cover first base, Senga received a high throw from Alonso, landing awkwardly on his right foot. After completing the out, Senga fell to the ground on the grass in foul territory, reaching for his right hamstring.

The Washington Nationals continue their recent struggles and are now 2-7 in their last nine games. If they lose today, that will be a clean sweep by the New York Mets, which is the Nationals second sweep of the season.

Its Thursday, June 12 and the Nationals (30-37) are in Queens to take on the Mets (44-24). Michael Soroka is slated to take the mound for Washington against Kodai Senga for New York.

With his former team leading 3-1 in the third inning, facing starter MacKenzie Gore, who the San Diego Padres traded to Washington for Soto in 2022, Soto hit a hanging slider over the wall in left field to bring the Mets within one run of the Nationals.

Peterson needed just nine pitches in the ninth inning to finish a shutout in the Mets’ 5-0 win over the Nationals on Wednesday night at Citi Field. In total, he threw 106 pitches. He allowed just six hits, no walks. He struck out six batters. “This is what we strive for,” Peterson said.

Francisco Lindor hit what is surely one of the two or three most important home runs in team history. And Díaz somehow survived one more ninth-inning apocalypse.
