Mets Stumble, Lose to Nationals
Good production from first baseman Jesus Aguilar helped the Washington Nationals topple the New York Mets, 8-3. Aguilar went 4-4 with a triple, a double, 2 singles, and a walk, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once for the Nationals. With the win, Washington pushed its record to 66-63.

The Nationals got a big hit from right fielder Jason Heyward. In the top of the seventh, Heyward pounded a 3-run home run to right-center. His 6th home run of the season put the Nationals ahead, 8-1.

"If we play like this, we can win a lot of games," Aguilar told the Washington Observer.
