Jeff McNeil was the difference-maker for the New York Mets in what turned into a shootout with the Washington Nationals. McNeil went 2-for-4 in the 14-9 Mets win. Sid Fernandez saved it for New York. New York, now 27-17, holds down first place in the National League Eastern Division.

The game was at a stalemate until designated hitter Pete Alonso came to bat in the top of the eighth. Facing Washington pitcher Stephen Strasburg, he hit a 0-2 sinker for a run-scoring single. It was a game-changer, putting New York on top, 10-9.

"Baseball's a game where I feel like almost everything that happens is strange," said Alonso. "Maybe that's why it's such a great game."
