David Peterson pitched a six-hitter for the first nine-inning complete game of his professional career, and the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 5-0 for their fifth straight win.

The Nationals manage just six hits as their bats stay cold in a 5-0 loss that leaves them at 2-7 since the calendar flipped to June.

After winning the opener, the Mets will look to grab the series against the Nationals at 7:10 p.m. on Wednesday at Citi Field.

David Peterson's six-hitter gave him the first nine-inning complete game of his professional career as the New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 5-0 for their fifth straight win.

During the ninth inning of Thursday afternoon’s Mets win over the Nationals, the game was getting close as closer Edwin Diaz initially struggled to get Washington hitters out, which included issuing a walk to first baseman Nathaniel Lowe to load the bases with nobody out.

NEW YORK — Mets center fielder Tyrone Taylor has what left fielder Brandon Nimmo refers to as an “absolute crater” in his right hand right now. The gash on Taylor’s right hand happened “a couple of weeks” ago while stealing a base without a glove on, Tyrone revealed after the Mets’ 4-3 win over the Washington Nationals on Thursday.

The Washington Nationals continue their recent struggles and are now 2-7 in their last nine games. If they lose today, that will be a clean sweep by the New York Mets, which is the Nationals second sweep of the season.
