After Tyler Clippard blew his first save of the year (wiping out Ross Detwiler’s excellent scoreless outing) the Washington Nationals had to come back against the New York Mets in the bottom of the 9th. They did, tying it at 3 (Danny Espinosa with the RBI single) but couldn’t get more.

In the 10th, the Mets got the lead runner on. He scored and the Nats needed two runs.

In the bottom of the inning, Jhonatan Solano singled and advanced to second on a Steve Lombardozzi bunt. Bryce Harper then tripled to knock in Solano and may have scored if he was not covered by David Wright after sliding. Then, the Mets walked Ryan Zimmerman (because who wouldn’t walk Mr. Walk-Off with the winning run on third?) and then walked pinch hitter Ian Desmond. I was thinking, really, two IBBs? That’s just setting yourself up for a wild pitch Mets; you karma. It took an extra batter though, since Adam LaRoche grounded to first, erasing Harper. That also meant Zimmerman was on third and on a 1-2 count to Tyler Moore (who homered earlier) that the pitch went wild and Zimmerman scored on it. Again.
