In a game where Rick Porcello achieved his 150th career victory, the New York Mets bested the Washington Nationals by a score of 3-1. Nationals ace Max Scherzer had a short night on the mound, leaving after just one difficult inning, an early departure that unfortunately overshadowed the 2020 debut of Washington's young star, Juan Soto, for the reigning World Series champions.
