Sloppy.
The Washington Nationals (15-39) beat the New York Mets (29-25) by a score of 7-1.
John Maine allowed three in the first, one in the fourth and three in the fifth. Seven earned runs were charged to Maine. He allowed six hits in four innings, three of which left the park. All of them were no-doubters. Maine walked two and struck out one.
Ken Takahashi and Fernando Nieve each pitched two innings in relief. Neither allowed a run to score.
The Mets were shut down by John Lannan. Lannan threw a complete game, four-hitter. He walked three and struck out two. The only run came in the 8th inning on an Elijah Dukes fielding error.
Just awful.
