Christian Scott pitched into the seventh inning for the first time since undergoing Tommy John surgery and Luis Torrens hit a two-run homer Sunday, helping the surging New York Mets to a 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals and a three-game series sweep.
Mets’ Strong Performance
Scott (4-3) gave up three runs and struck out seven, one shy of his career high, over 6 1/3 innings — his longest outing since his big league debut on May 4, 2024. Kodai Senga earned his third save by striking out two in the ninth.
Torrens’ 407-foot homer to straightaway center off Jake Irvin (2-7) put the Mets ahead for good in the fourth and was his fourth round-tripper in his last six starts. Jorge Polanco had an RBI groundout and Jared Young delivered a run-scoring double as the Mets swept a series for the second time in four tries since the trade deadline.
