New York was eliminated from the NL East race even as Brandon Nimmo, Francisco Lindor and Jeff McNeill opened with three straight homers to spark the Mets to a win over the Washington Nationals and a sweep of a doubleheader on Tuesday night.
Despite the historic start to the nightcap, the Mets fell short in the NL East race after leading the division for 175 days and holding a 10 1/2 game lead on June 1. New York also had a seven-game edge on Aug. 10 – three days after taking four of five from Atlanta at home.The Atlanta Braves began the day with a magic number of one for winning the division after sweeping a three-game series from the Mets over the weekend.
It was the first time the Mets hit three straight homers since Michael Conforto, James McCann and Jonathan Villar achieved the feat Aug. 7, 2021 in Philadelphia. "It's still a little bit of a mystery," Rizzo said."I know that he's working hard strengthening his core and the other parts of his body. We're just going to have to see."
