Post Game: Nationals 2, Mets 1
The Mets lost to the Nationals by the score of 2-1 tonight in Washington, the team’s 90th loss of the year.

The Least You Should Know:
Nelson Figueroa pitched well once again but took the loss, allowing two runs on six hits in six innings, and is 0-5 in September.
The Mets had runners in scoring position in six of the first seven innings, and managed just one run against Ross Detwiller, who earned his first Major League Victory.
Other Observations and Notes:
I’m not clear on why Luis Castillo swung at the first pitch with two outs and nobody on in the ninth inning.
The Mets lost for the 50th time on the road tonight, and it’s the first time that has happened since 1993 when the team lost 103 games.
I was so happy to find out that Gary Cohen actually had long hair when he was young.
Up Next:
The Mets will try and even their series against the Nationals tomorrow night when they send Mike Pelfrey to face J.D. Martin.
