In a pivotal series in the NL East pitting the New York Mets versus the Washington Nationals there is no margin for error. The Nats came into to the Three-Piece at Nats Park just two game sup with around 70 or so games left on the menu. Both were trying to set the "Tempo" for the Series in Game 1 as Gio Gonzalez out duels the "Dark Knight" Amazins' RHP and Ace Matt Harvey from Tar Heel Nation!
Washington went right after the "Dark Knight" getting two in the bottom half of the 1st and then adding a crooked three in the 3rd. That 3rd frame was highlighted by A Clint Robinson two-bagger scoring both Danny Espinosa and Nats All-Star and RF "Bam 34".
The "Dark Knight" would help his own cause in the 4th off of Nats starter Gonzalez by hitting a two-RBI single cutting the deficit to 5-2 Nats. Harvey would settle down after the 3rd but the damage had already been done. He gives up five runs on five hits in seven frames walking four and striking out three falling to 9-7.
Gio moves to 7-4 by going six and giving up just two runs on six hits as he struck out four and gave out three free hopper passes to to first base. Robinson, Espinosa, and Ian Desmond collected two hits each as the Nats move to 50-41 stretching their lead in the NL East over the Amazins' to three games. N.Y.M. falls to 48-45...
