Nationals Edge Mets 5-4, End Seven-Game Winning Streak

The New York Mets finished a perfect homestand with a dramatic walk-off win over the Philadelphia Phillies, extending their winning streak to seven games and setting a Citi Field attendance record. Starling Marte’s bloop single sealed the walk-off victory, while key defensive plays and clutch pitching helped secure the sweep. However, the Mets' momentum did not carry into their next series, as they lost 5-4 to the Washington Nationals in Washington, marking their third consecutive road loss and dropping their away record below .500. Kodai Senga’s strong pitching performance was not enough to prevent the walk-off loss, as errors and missed opportunities contributed to the defeat. Despite these setbacks, the Mets remain among the league’s top teams, with key players expected to return from injury soon. The Nationals, meanwhile, continued to challenge the Mets with solid home performances.
