The Nationals continued their unimpressive spring campaign with a ten inning win over the Mets. The win puts them at 3-7 on the year. Not that great, but these early games don’t mean squat so as long as the new managers are getting what they want out of it, it’s all good.
The Nationals were down 6-1 before mounting an impressive comeback. The big hit was a three run shot by Darnell McDonald that made it a one run game in the eighth. The Nats then tied it in the ninth and won it in the tenth.
Tim Redding had a rough start. He gave up four early runs in two innings while Jerome Williams gave up a single run in three innings of relief. Things continue this afternoon when the Nats take on the Dodgers. Chris Michalek gets the start.
