The Nationals are good at doing two things: scoring a lot of runs while also allowing a bunch of them at the same time. Both their league-leading averages increased as Washington posted a 9-6 victory over the Mets on Tuesday night.
Things were very entertaining right from the beginning as the Mets jumped out to a 5-0 lead before the home team came to bat in the second inning. With two outs and the bases loaded James Wood does what he's been doing so often lately by coming through with the biggest hit of the game in the form of an inside-the-park grand slam.
