Scott Pitches Into 7th, Helps Mets Past Nats for Sweep
Luis Torrens hit a two-run homer and Christian Scott struck out seven as New York won its third straight and completed a three-game sweep.
- On Sunday, August 16, 2026, the New York Mets completed a three-game sweep of the Washington Nationals with a 4-3 victory at Citi Field, marking their third consecutive win.
- Luis Torrens powered the offense with a 407-foot, two-run home run off Jake Irvin, while Jared Young added an RBI double to overcome an early 2-0 deficit.
- Christian Scott pitched 6.1 innings, his longest outing since undergoing Tommy John surgery, with Nate Lavender and Kodai Senga securing final outs; Senga earned his third save.
- Despite an early lead, Nationals rookie Abimelec Ortiz's fifth home run in his 15th game could not prevent the team's continued struggles; they have lost 13 of 18 games.
- The Mets will open a three-game set on Monday against San Diego, with right-hander Nolan McLean starting for New York opposite Padres pitcher Walker Buehler.
