-- Center fielder Alex Call made a pair of outstanding defensive plays in the ninth inning, preserving the Washington Nationals' 3-2 win Sunday and dealing the slumpingIn the completion of a game suspended in the third inning after a 3-hour, 56-minute rain delay on Saturday night, CJ Abrams broke a 2-2 tie in the seventh with a home run off Dominic Leone , who lost in his first decision with the Mets.
Brandon Nimmo followed with a single and major league batting champion Jeff McNeil hit a fly that Call tracked down just in front of the wall for the final out. "It's not where we need to be," McNeil said."We're not playing great. We need to turn it around. I think everybody in that locker room knows that we got to take care of business."
In Sunday's regularly scheduled game, Max Scherzer was to start for the Mets and Jake Irvin for the Nationals.
