Over the first few innings, it seemed like the Mets would have a chance to break their losing streak, but the late innings proved to be their undoing and they fell to Washington 10-1. Chris Schwinden pitched five effective innings allowing only two runs (one earned). The Mets cut the deficit to 2-1 when Jason Bay doubled in David Wright, but the bullpen caved in from there. New York surrendered a single run in the 7th, three in the 8th and four in the 9th and the losing streak now stands at six.
