The Mets blew a 5-0 lead against the Washington Nationals, losing 7-5 in the third game of their series. Tyrone Taylor, Mark Vientos, and Francisco Lindor homered for the Mets, but the bullpen struggled, ultimately allowing the Nats to take the lead.

The Mets bullpen was depleted, with right-handers Dedniel Nuñez and Jose Butto unavailable after pitching multiple innings in the first two games. Edwin Diaz remains suspended.

The Mets are looking to bounce back and win the series in an 11 a.m. matinee contest against the Nationals.
