 The Nationals lost two of three to the Mets to open the 2019 season, and the Nats' 2-4-1 series record against the Mets since 2018 is their worst versus any NL East opponent. The Nationals scored 15 runs in their last game at Citi Field (August 26, 2018), the most runs any team scored at Citi Field last season.

 The Mets are off to their second consecutive 5-1 start -- they are the only team in MLB to start 5-1 or better in each of the last two seasons. The Mets have won their home opener every season since 2015.

 The Nationals' bullpen has accumulated an 11.02 ERA and .377 BAA thus far in 2019 -- both marks are the worst in MLB. The team's 4.05 bullpen ERA last season ranked 15th in MLB.

 Pete Alonso is the first Met with nine hits through six career games since Daniel Murphy in 2008. He has nine hits, four doubles and a home run in six career games. The last players to meet each of these marks through six career games were Ronald Acuna Jr. (2018) and Jorge Soler (2014).

 Noah Syndergaard and Stephen Strasburg will match up for the second time this season. They each allowed seven hits and four earned runs over 6.0 innings in that first game, an 11-8 Mets win.

 Anthony Rendon has homered in each of his last two games, and also had a double yesterday. He, Francisco Lindor and Mookie Betts are the only players with 40+ doubles in each of the last two seasons.

HP - Knight, 1B - Rehak, 2B - Hoberg, 3B - Davis

A series of off-days in late March and early April allowed Washington Nationals manager Davey Martinez to arrange his rotation so that perennial Cy Young Award candidate Max Scherzer received three starts in the first eight games.
The early emphasis on Scherzer ends Sunday, when the Nationals will try to win one of his outings for the first time in the rubber game of a three-game series against the host New York Mets.

Ssherzer faces Wheeler, Mets still looking for first win

NEW YORK (AP)  Starting for the third time in his club's first eight games, Washington ace Max Scherzer earned his first win in the least effective outing of the three.
Anthony Rendon backed him with a three-run homer, going deep for the fourth time in five games, and the Nationals were helped by 12 walks in a 12-9 win over the New York Mets on Sunday.
