Mets defeat Nationals 2-1 with Bo Bichette's two-run single

Bo Bichette delivered a two-run single that gave the New York Mets a 2-0 lead, and starter David Peterson earned his first win of the season by allowing just one run over five innings. The Mets held on in Washington to beat the Nationals 2-1, splitting the four‑game series.

Peterson (3‑4) struck out three and walked three while improving to 8‑2 against Washington. Reliever Devin Williams closed out the ninth for his seventh save. The Nationals rallied for a single run in the fifth but could not answer back. Juan Soto recorded his 100th career stolen base in the game. Both teams combined for five hits each, and the Mets' defense, including a key play by center fielder A.J. Ewing, helped preserve the narrow margin.
