Andrés Chaparro’s 2-Homer Game Lifts Nationals over Mets 6-4 in Season Finale
Andrés Chaparro homered twice as Washington erased an early 4-1 deficit and finished 11 games better than last season.
On Sunday, the Washington Nationals defeated the New York Mets 6-4 in the season finale, with outfielder Andres Chaparro hitting two home runs against Mets starter Sean Manaea.
The Nationals finished 77-85, improving by 11 wins over 2025, while the Mets slid to 74-88 and finished last in the National League East, their worst mark since 2017.
Francisco Lindor hit his 300th career home run while Ronny Mauricio homered for the third time in two days, marking offensive milestones for the visiting Mets.
Manager Andy Green received a three-year contract through 2029 on Tuesday, taking over after the June 26 firing of Carlos Mendoza and leading the Mets to a 40-41 record.
Washington's season attendance fell to 1,839,116, a decline of less than 1%, while Mets outfielder Juan Soto went 0-for-5 after exiting Saturday's game with a right-hand injury.
