The Mets took two of three from the red-hot Mariners over the weekend, including a 7-3 win on Sunday night during the Little League Classic in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It was the first series the Mets had won since sweeping the San Francisco Giants from July 25-27.

The Nationals closed to within two runs in the bottom of the ninth on a three-run homer from Paul DeJong off Phillies reliever Max Lazar. Lazar left a 94.7 mph fastball in the upper middle of the strike zone and DeJong lifted into the left-field seats.
