On Thursday, Stratton became the latest celebrity to uncork a wild first pitch while participating in the ceremonial event. Stratton took to the mound prior to the game between the New York Mets and the Washington Nationals on June 12.

Peterson was bolstered by a Mets offense whose components seem to finally all be clicking at once. Juan Soto hit a two-run homer in the third, and Brandon Nimmo hit solo shots in the fifth and seventh. He, McNeil and Alonso have all collected multi-homer games in the past three days.

The Mets received the best possible news they could have on Friday. Manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters, including SNYtv, that Senga suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain. He will be re-evaluated in two weeks before determining a course of action.

Jeff McNeil doubled home the winning run in the 10th inning and the New York Mets rallied past the Washington Nationals 5-4.

Mets ace Kodai Senga exited with a right hamstring injury during team's 4-3 win over the Nationals on Thursday.

Jeff McNeil wasted no time playing hero Tuesday night at Citi Field, lifting the Mets to a 5-4 walk-off win over the Nationals.

If Senga lands on the injured list for an extended period of time, the Mets will likely slide Paul Blackburn back into the rotation and call up reliever. When asked about using Blackburn, Mendoza said the right-hander will be available out of the bullpen for their next series against the Rays, and that they “will go from there.”

The Nationals manage just six hits as their bats stay cold in a 5-0 loss that leaves them at 2-7 since the calendar flipped to June.

"We feel good with the options that we've got currently in place," Carlos Mendoza said. "They've been doing it the whole year."

The Mets, who have come from behind to win so many games this season, this time fell victim to a come from behind rally by their opposition.
