METS 7 NATIONALS 2 F...de GROM goes six frames as the AMAZINS' strike back in the NL East at NATS Park!..."A CUP of JOE in the SHOW Report" that METS Starting Staff is here and heading to OCTOBER its Pitching and Catching before Hitting! #NYMvsWSH #METSnation #NATSnation #NLEastElite

New York Mets starter Jacob deGrom holds down the fort after the "Dark Knight" took an "L" last night as the Amazins' tie their three-piece with Nations Capital Hardball at 1-1. Jacob gets the "W" moving to 10-6 in 2K15 but not after some turbulence in Frame 5 with the Mets up 1-0.

In the 5th it was Nats back stop Wilson Ramos taking deGrom deep for a two-run shot giving the Nats a 2-1 lead. In past years that would have folded the Mets but not these 2K15 Mets who know they belong in the driver's seat in the NL East.

Nats starter Joe Ross was in position to win after that Ramos bomb only to see his "Fate" decided in the 7th.  It was Mets pinch-hitter Eric Campbell's two-run single off Nats middle man Aaron Barrett that gave New York a 3-2 lead. They would then with then tack on four more runs in the 9th highlighted by three RBI singles for a 7-2 "W"!

Amazins' second baseman Wilmer Flores went 2 for 4 with two Ribbies leading the attack with lead-off man Curtis Granderson going 2 for 5 scoring two runs with an RBI single. The Amazins' move to 49-45 while the Nats fall to 50-42. This NL East Race might have a photo finish as it looks like a two-trick pony!
