Nats tie the game with 2 outs in the 9th against the useless Braves and then win in extras. Mets meanwhile drop an absolute heartbreaker in Miami ending with, of course, Eric O'Flaherty losing it.
Feels like a weird thing to say still up by 5 games in early September but the next 2 feel like must-wins for the Mets. The Braves have absolutely given up and aren't likely to beat the Nats this weekend. So the pressure's on the Mets to avoid heading into Washington on Monday with a shortened division lead when they're scheduled to pitch Jon fucking Niese, who is horrible.
