The Washington Nationals head to the Big Apple on Monday to open a four-game series on the road against the New York Mets. The Nationals defeated the Chicago Cubs 5-2 on Saturday, but not without controversy as Cubs manager Joe Maddon protested the game’s outcome over how Nationals’ stopper Sean Doolittle was tapping his foot on the mound before pitching, but the umpires saw nothing wrong.
New York lost to the Miami Marlins for their second straight loss to Miami and fourth straight loss overall. The Mets were held to just one hit by Marlins starter Pablo Lopez and the Miami bullpen. The Mets opened with a double by Jeff McNeil on the game’s first pitch, but would not get another hit the rest of the game.
