Mets Crush Nationals, Snap Slump

0:00On April 29th, Med's finally broke through with an eight-nothing smackdown over the nationals Tuesday night at City Field. They exploded for seven runs in the fourth inning alone, snapping a rough stretch where cheers were rare around that park. It kicked off early with Boba Shet, crushing a homer on the first pitch he saw. Then the fourth inning went wild. Marcus Simeon's bases loaded Chopper brought in two. Carson Benji ripped the two run single, but Shet added a sacrifice. Fly and Juan Soto powered a two-run homer despite forearm pain. Fans jumped to their feet, roaring like it was all times, giving the struggling squad and its supporters a much-needed breather from the slump. Clay Holmes shut down Washington completely, striking out six over six scoreless innings with ten ground ball outs. Meanwhile, National Starter Zach Whitetail got lit up, owning one of the worst ERAs around at seven-and-a-half-six. This victory keeps manager Carlos Mendoza in place, unlike the Phillies and Red Sox dumping theirs amid similar slides.
