The New York Mets showcased their offensive power in an explosive 19-5 rout of the Washington Nationals, marking a significant early-season victory. Brandon Nimmo was the standout performer, driving in nine runs, including a grand slam and a three-run homer, tying a franchise record for RBIs in a game. This remarkable performance not only helped the Mets secure victory but also demonstrated their offensive depth and capability. Griffin Canning continued to impress on the mound, tossing five scoreless innings, further solidifying the Mets' position as a dominant force in the league.

The Mets' pitching staff now boasts an MLB-best 2.53 ERA, with starting pitchers consistently delivering exceptional performances. Canning's strong outing contributed to a historic streak where the Mets' starters have allowed four or fewer runs in their first 29 games, the longest such stretch by a National League team since 1901. With a franchise-best record of 20-9 and a comfortable lead in the NL East, the Mets look poised for a successful season ahead.
