The Mets remained unbeaten in 10 series this season, cruising past the sloppy Nationals on Thursday.
— Taijuan Walker stood astride Juan Soto after tagging him out during a collision at third base that the Washington Nationals slugger felt was more violent than it needed to be.Walker pitched seven innings of no-fuss, scoreless ball, and the Mets remained unbeaten in 10 series this season, cruising past the sloppy Nationals 4-1 on Thursday.
After tagging Soto, Walker threw wildly to second base, and right fielder Starling Marte threw back to third to nail Bell and end the Nationals' best chance to rally. "We have a hitter of the day. We give the award out when we come in," Canha said."Today it was me, and then, what's cool about this team is, I feel like, I'm pretty sure all our hitters have won the award at some point this year. ... Someone always is the hero, and that's been the coolest part of this year."
Soto said he was at fault on the rundown play, which came after he opened the fourth inning with a double off the wall in right-center.
