The headline after the Washington Nationals’ 5-3, 11-inning win over the New York Mets on Saturday was Daylen Lile’s inside-the-park home run.

Jacob Young made a pair of sensational catches in center field to prevent extra-base hits as the Washington Nationals hung on and handed the New York Mets a costly 3-2 defeat.

At a critical juncture in its history, the MLB franchise appears to some as “directionless,” with too many hands on the wheel.

Washington Nationals center fielder Jacob Young has made two incredible catches that sent the New York Mets to a costly defeat

They flip-flopped Sean Manaea and Clay Holmes, opting to start Manaea because of the Nationals’ lefty hitters at the top of the lineup, and it backfired. The left-hander gave up three runs in the second inning, two on light-hitting Nasim Nuñez ’s home run to left field.

The left-hander burst onto the scene with a historic outing in his debut, becoming the first pitcher in Nationals history to throw at least five scoreless innings in his debut. He followed it up with 4.2 innings where he allowed two runs in his next start against the Chicago Cubs.
