Nationals' Daniel Murphy: Continues to haunt Mets

Murphy went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer in Tuesday's 7-4 win over the Mets.

Analysis:

Murphy continued to remind the Mets of what they've been missing, driving in Jayson Werth with a 401-foot blast off former teammate Matt Harvey in the fifth inning. The second baseman has carried the momentum from a historic 2015 postseason into this campaign, slashing a magnificent .392/.424/.620 in his first season with the Nationals. Washington couldn't have dreamed of having a better cleanup option available to punish those who pitch around Bryce Harper.
