Veteran Robert Stock sparks Mets comeback in 4-1 win over Nationals
Robert Stock delivered a solid start as the Mets rallied to defeat the Nationals 4-1, giving fans a glimpse of optimism for next season.
The Mets secured a 4-1 comeback win over the Washington Nationals before a crowd of 30,660 at Citi Field, with veteran right-hander Robert Stock providing a steady opening effort. Stock allowed a single unearned run in 4 1/3 innings, surrendering three hits and three walks while fanning five batters. An early defensive misplay by Francisco Lindor set up Washington’s lone run, but the Mets answered in the sixth when Lindor homered to tie the game and Carson Benge’s single gave them the lead.
The bullpen, featuring Kodai Senga who earned the second save, held the opposition scoreless, while Jared Young added to his offensive surge with an RBI single and continued his.290 average since the All-Star break. The performance bolstered arguments that Stock, Senga and several relievers could earn spots on the 2027 Opening Day roster.
Why it matters
The win offers the Mets a hopeful outlook and showcases players who may shape the team's future roster.
