Mets vs Nationals Highlights: Mets club three straight homers in first inning, sweep Nats, settle for Wild Card berth | Mets Highlights
The Mets exploded for seven runs in the first inning, getting back-to-back-to-back home runs from Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeil, completing a doubleheader sweep of the Nationals. Rookie Francisco Alvarez recorded his first Major League hit, blasting a solo shot deep to the left-center field seats. It was the first time since 1988 that the Mets have won 100 games in a season, but by virtue of the Braves win over the Marlins, the Mets will have to settle for a Wild Card berth when the post season begins on Friday.
