GOING TO CHURCH – NY Post
Ryan Church had 4 RBI against his former team as the Mets evened the series at one a piece. The former Nat hit a solo home run in the 3rd and a two-run double over RF Austin Kearns head in the 6th. That proved to be the margin of victory, though Church had a sacrifice RBI in the 8th too. John Lannan took the loss for Washington, while John Maine won it for the Mets.
Ryan Zimmerman hit his sixth home run of the season too.
