General News sources for Brady House of the Washington Nationals
The Washington Nationals routed the New York Mets 14-2 on Wednesday night at Citi Field, with Brady House capping a seven-run fourth inning with his first career grand slam. The Nationals recorded 15 hits to set a season high for runs, improving their road record to 11-7 after suffering an 8-0 loss in Tuesday's series opener. Curtis Mead led the offensive assault with four hits and four runs scored, while also homering. James Wood contributed three RBIs and three runs, and CJ Abrams added three hits and two RBIs for the young Washington team.
On the mound, Cade Cavalli delivered a dominant performance for the Nationals, throwing six innings while striking out 10 batters and equaling his career high. He became the first Washington pitcher to record 10+ strikeouts in consecutive starts since Max Scherzer in July 2020. The Mets' pitching collapsed, with starter David Peterson (0-4) allowing seven runs in 3⅔ innings after being recalled from the bullpen, and reliever Sean Manaea serving up House's grand slam.
Juan Soto homered against his former team for the second consecutive night and finished with three hits. The Mets, now 10-20 on the season, allowed their most runs of the year and were booed by a sparse home crowd. New York has lost 16 of its last 19 games. The teams will play the series finale Thursday afternoon with Freddy Peralta (1-3, 3.90 ERA) starting for the Mets against Miles Mikolas (0-3, 8.49 ERA) for Washington.
