Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor homered, Max Scherzer defeated his former team, and the Mets beat the Nationals 7-3 Monday night for their seventh consecutive victory. LGM
Lindor added a three-run drive in the sixth off reliever Steve Cishek as New York improved to 9-2 this season against Washington.
Scherzer won two Cy Young Awards with Washington, made six All-Star appearances in seven seasons and helped the Nationals win the 2019 World Series before getting dealt to the Dodgers at last year's trade deadline. He allowed three runs in 6 2/3 innings and struck out five. The right-hander is 2-1 with a 1.62 ERA in six starts since returning from the injured list July 5.
Soto, a two-time All-Star and one of the few pivotal pieces remaining from Washington's 2019 title team, was loudly applauded throughout the night. He walked in the first, moved to third on Josh Bell's double and scored on Marte's throwing error from right field. Soto also belted Scherzer's pitch in the fourth to center field for his 21st homer of the season and 119th - and perhaps last - with the Nationals.
Corbin, who leads the majors in losses, allowed four runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings while striking out four. He has lost five consecutive starts, posting a 10.29 ERA in that span. New York leadoff man Brandon Nimmo had four hits, his most since collecting a career-high five against Baltimore on Aug. 15, 2018.: RHP Trevor May pitched Saturday and Sunday for Triple-A Syracuse. Manager Buck Showalter said May could be activated as early as Wednesday. ...
