Pedro Martinez was less then perfect, and the Mets offense only gave him three runs to work with. He threw six innings, walked four, and he gave up three runs on six hits in the no decision. To make matters worse, the winning run was scored on David Wright’s throwing error in the ninth, giving the loss to Brandon Looper.

The Nationals won their tenth in a row, so the Mets dropped to five games back. Oddly enough, it’s Philadelphia and Washington in the top two spots, when for a big chunk of the season, they were in the bottom two spots.
