After Wright staked the Mets to a 2-0 lead in the first, the Nationals got a home run from Ryan Zimmerman. But New York added an Ike Davis home run in the second, two runs in the third, with Davis driving in the second, for a 5-1 edge.

Washington chipped back with a Michael Morse sacrifice fly in the sixth, an RBI double and run scored by Morse in the eighth and Roger Bernadina's run-scoring single in the ninth.
