Mark Canha had a sacrifice fly after a 97-minute rain delay in the bottom of the eighth inning, lifting the New York Mets to a 2-1 win over the Washington Nationals. The Mets tied the score by stringing together three straight one-out singles — the last an RBI hit into right field by Daniel Vogelbach — against Mason Thompson (3-4). DJ Stewart was then plunked by a pitch to load the bases and Thompson was removed for Kyle Finnegan moments before umpires motioned the teams off the field. After play resumed, Canha hit Finnegan’s fifth pitch to deep right field and Pete Alonso beat the throw home. David Peterson (3-7) allowed three hits in two innings before Brooks Raley notched his second save with a hitless ninth.`
