David Peterson pitched a six-hitter for the first nine-inning complete game of his professional career, and the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 5-0 for their fifth straight win.

On Thursday, Stratton became the latest celebrity to uncork a wild first pitch while participating in the ceremonial event. Stratton took to the mound prior to the game between the New York Mets and the Washington Nationals on June 12.

Peterson was bolstered by a Mets offense whose components seem to finally all be clicking at once. Juan Soto hit a two-run homer in the third, and Brandon Nimmo hit solo shots in the fifth and seventh. He, McNeil and Alonso have all collected multi-homer games in the past three days.

David Peterson's six-hitter gave him the first nine-inning complete game of his professional career as the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 5-0 for their fifth straight win.

The Nationals manage just six hits as their bats stay cold in a 5-0 loss that leaves them at 2-7 since the calendar flipped to June.

During the ninth inning of Thursday afternoon’s Mets win over the Nationals, the game was getting close as closer Edwin Diaz initially struggled to get Washington hitters out, which included issuing a walk to first baseman Nathaniel Lowe to load the bases with nobody out.

NEW YORK — Mets center fielder Tyrone Taylor has what left fielder Brandon Nimmo refers to as an “absolute crater” in his right hand right now. The gash on Taylor’s right hand happened “a couple of weeks” ago while stealing a base without a glove on, Tyrone revealed after the Mets’ 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals on Thursday.

The Washington Nationals continue their recent struggles and are now 2-7 in their last nine games. If they lose today, that will be a clean sweep by the New York Mets, which is the Nationals second sweep of the season.
