Nationals 4, Mets 3
WASHINGTON — New father Ian Desmond homered and tripled in his first game back from paternity leave and Livan Hernandez pitched eight strong innings for the Nationals. Desmond's solo home run in the fifth gave Washington a 4-2 lead. The loss ended the Mets' six-game winning streak, their longest since winning eight straight in June. Ike Davis had a single, a double and an RBI for New York, extending his hitting streak to 10 games.
