Trea Turner gets caught in a rundown after rounding third base in the sixth inning, one of a few base running blunders in the Nationals’ loss to the Mets. One hit here, one hit there, he said, and the Nationals aren’t 4-5 in the midst of a five-game losing streak. For the third straight game, the Nationals turned to Kintzler, and for the third straight game the right-hander stumbled, surrendering a game-winning, broken-bat RBI single to Yoenis Cespedes. Maybe could’ve hit him.”The Nationals opened the scoring for the third straight day because Harper unleashed another power display. Then, in the eighth, the Nationals were lurking again after Rendon worked a two-out walk to bring up Harper.
