The Nationals went 12-7 against the Mets in 2016; it was the fifth time in the past six years that Washington won this season series. However, the Mets have won their last two home games against the Nationals, allowing just one run in each of these contests.

The Nationals are batting .292 (42/144) during their current four-game win streak, .342 (13/38) with runners in scoring position.

The Mets are batting just .220 so far this season. This is their lowest team batting average in the month of April since the 1990 season, when they hit .217 in that month.

Daniel Murphy hit .413 (31/75) with seven home runs and 21 runs batted in against his former club in 2016, with 1+ hit in all 19 games that he appeared in. Since 1913, this is tied for the longest hitting streak by any player versus a former club (streak must start with player's first game against that club); Bob Johnson had a similar 19-game streak versus the A's, July 28, 1961-July 8, 1962.

Tanner Roark has gone 5+ innings while allowing two or fewer runs in each of his nine career starts versus the Mets. This is tied for the longest-ever such streak against the Mets to start a career (9, Gary Nolan, April 30, 1967-August 28, 1968) (streaks exclude any relief appearances).

Jacob deGrom has gotten a no decision in each of his first three starts despite going 6+ innings while allowing two or fewer runs in each game. Since at least 1913, no pitcher has received a no decision in each of his first 4+ starts of a season when putting up this stat line in each game (streaks exclude any relief appearances).

HP - Torres, 1B - Gibson, 2B - Guccione, 3B - DeMuth

NEW YORK -- New York Mets manager Terry Collins believes he has a team that can contend with the Washington Nationals for the National League East title. But with 145 games to play, the Mets might already be running short on time -- and bodies -- to keep pace with the Nationals.
The Nationals will look to lengthen their early season lead over the Mets on Saturday afternoon, when the two teams play the middle game of a three-game series at Citi Field. Washington (11-5) won the opener 4-3 on Friday in 11 innings to move 3 1/2 games ahead of New York (8-9).

Mets try to hang with Nationals

NEW YORK (AP)  Gio Gonzalez mentioned the tasty Latin food served in the visitors' clubhouse. And the airplanes that fly overhead. And the pretty features of the ballpark.
But if there's a real reason why the Washington lefty is so successful at Citi Field, he isn't saying.
