Scott Shines, Mets Sweep Nationals | MLB News

Christian Scott makes a major comeback on the mound, pitching into the seventh for the first time since his Tommy John surgery and striking out seven while giving up just three runs — nearly matching his career best. Luis Torrens delivers a clutch two-run homer in the fourth to seal the Mets’ sweep over the Nationals, his fourth blast in six games. The Mets roll to a 9-5 record in August and their second series win in four since the trade deadline, while the Nationals sink deeper with their 13th loss in 18 games. Up next: Jackson Kent starts for the Nats against Texas, while Nolan McLean takes the hill for the Mets against San Diego.
