Nats Nightly: Nationals drop 5-3 decision to Mets, lose second straight to NY

Washington's Nationals took 9 of 10 on their recently-completed road trip, but they've now lost two in a row to the New York Mets at home in the nation's capital. Michael Conforto powered the Mets to a 5-3 win today with two home runs. Stephen Strasburg put in a solid start, and Ryan Zimmerman kept swinging a hot bat, but it wasn't enough for the Nats, who fell to 16-7 on the year with the loss in Nationals Park. One more with the Mets tomorrow in D.C.
