 WASHINGTON NATIONALS SPRING TRAINING 2025

Last game out vs. the New York Mets: Nationals walk it off

The Washington Nationals defeated their NL East rival New York Mets by a score of 5-4 this evening on the backs of solid offense from the real starters as well as incredible pitching. James Wood, CJ Abrams, and Trevor Williams led the way against Paul Blackburn and what was mostly the Mets’ real lineup.

Williams took the mound for Washington, looking to bounce back from two rough outings. He was able to do just that, striking out three batters in 4.0 innings while allowing just three hits and one earned run. Former Met Jorge Lopez teamed up with Lucas Sims, Evan Reifert, Clay Helvey, and Daison Acosta to allow just one additional earned run for the rest of the night. Sims gave up two runs, but neither was earned due to an error in left field by Wood with two outs. Ultimately, the staff had a solid night, striking out 10 batters while walking just two. (Read the full recap here)

Up Next: The Nationals have a 12:05 game at home tomorrow against the 6-8 Cardinals. Veteran Steven Matz will face off against the Nationals’ young star, DJ Herz. The game will be broadcast on MASN. They will play the Mets in Port St. Lucie on Sunday, also on MASN, at 1:10 PM. The Mets have not announced a starter, but Jake Irvin will take the bump for Washington.
