Mets 3 Nationals 1

Because I was at a Seder on Wednesday I didn't really get to see this game.
Pedro pitched great. I think Willie should have left him in for the 8th inning but I guess he is going to baby Pedro and his toe again this year.
Once again the Mets big players were able to generate runs by hitting with men on base or driving them home with outs. The biggest difference so far between this team and the last two years has been the ability to hit sacrifice flies and other productive outs.
As for the pitching, this game went according to the plan that basically every team has. Seven strong innings from your starter, one good inning of relief and then your closer comes on and slams the door.
