Right-hander Tanner Roark allowed a double in the first inning, but has since recorded six straight outs. Jayson Werth made a diving catch in right to rob Kirk Nieuwenhuis of extra bases, ending the second inning. Mets right-hander Bartolo Colon surrendered a leadoff hit to Denard Span and later a walk to Adam LaRoche, but also has kept the Nationals off the board for the first two frames. No score heading to top of the third in D.C. Update: Denard Span made a diving catch to his right and then crashed into the center field wall in the third. The catch prevented Matt den Dekker from an extra-base hit and ended the inning. But Span left the game and was replaced by Michael A. Taylor. We will update Span's status as soon as we hear. Update II: In the fifth, the Mets put together a couple of doubles to get on the board. The second extra-base hit was a ground-rule double by Nieuwenhuis, and the Mets lead 1-0. Update III: Taylor smacked a run-scoring double down the right field line and the Nationals tied the game at 1-1 in the bottom of the fifth. Later after a Werth walk, Adam LaRoche crushed his 26th homer deep over the right field fence for a three-run shot, and the Nationals lead 4-1. Update IV: Roark went 6 1/3 innings, allowing five hits and two runs. He walked none and struck out one. He tossed 86 pitches, 58 for strikes.
