WASHINGTON -- In the highest-scoring game in franchise history, Daniel Murphy hit two early home runs and the Washington Nationals kept pouring it on against emergency reliever Jose Reyes and the New York Mets in a 25-4 rout Tuesday night. It’s a game that made the National’s front office look smart for keeping a now potentially contending team together and can propel a team to believe in itself.
In baseball, the New York Mets suffer the worst loss in franchise history after being defeated by the Washington Nationals, 25–4.
