Francisco Lindor hit a three-run single in the sixth inning to lift the struggling New York Mets over the last-place Washington Nationals 3-2 in the opener of a four-game series Friday night.
New York had lost four of five and 13 of 17 to fall to fourth place in the NL East before rallying against the Nationals’ bullpen.
Drew Smith earned his first save in 126 major league appearances. He inherited two runners from closer David Robertson, who threw 40 pitches in 1 2/3 innings, and struck out Lane Thomas to end it. Still, the game initially looked much like many of New York’s latest efforts as Washington took the lead in the first on Joey Meneses’ two-out RBI single off Megill. The Mets have been outscored 35-9 in the first inning this season.
