WASHINGTON When the bullpen door in left field opened before the bottom of the ninth inning Friday it was somebody other than Edwin Daz entering to pursue the save. That somebody for the Mets was Ryne Stanek, who had allowed just one earned run over his first 10 appearances this season. But with the game on the line at Nationals Park, the right-hander couldnt finish. A wild night that included the Mets hitting into a phantom triple play ended with Stanek surrendering two runs in a 5-4 walkoff lo s to the Nationals that snapped a seven-game winning streak. James Wood delivered an RBI single under Jeff McNeils glove that allowed CJ Abrams to score the winning run from first base. The Nationals had tied the game on Jose Tenas RBI single against Stanek after Dylan Crews leadoff triple off Juan Sotos glove at the right-field fence. Diaz departed his last outing on Wednesday with a left hip cramp, but manager Carlos Mendoza cited the closers recent workload even with Thursdays off day as the reason he went to Stanek in the ninth. Daz recorded four outs on Wednesday after pitching the ninth inning two days earlier.

AP With the workload I was down today, but I will be good [Saturday], Daz told The Post. The Mets trailed 3-0 when McNeil singled leading off the eighth. Soto delivered a two-out single and Pete Alonso walked to load the bases. Brandon Nimmos slow grounder brought in a run against lefty Jose A. Ferrer before the Nationals summoned closer Kyle Finnegan, who surrendered a bloop three-run triple to Mark Vientos (on which Crews dove and mi sed in right field) that gave the Mets a 4-3 lead. I just like how we fought all the way until the end, Vientos said. I feel like thats been this team the whole season so far.

Geoff Burke-Imagn Images Replays showed Winkers ball hit the ground, but the play was not reviewable. Nimmo and Vientos each singled to begin the inning and were caught off base on the ball that Mrquez ruled caught by Lowe. Its frustrating because we all saw what happened, said Mendoza, who argued the call. Im not blaming [Mrquez] because he is behind the play, but the other three [umpires], somebody has got to see that play. Its just a tough break for us there. Kodai Senga lasted six innings for the Mets and allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks with five strikeouts. It was the second start in his last three in which Senga pitched at least six innings. He was removed after 96 pitches.

Enjoy this Post Sports+ exclusive newsletter! Nimmo said he forgot the Mets had turned a double play before Crews single and threw to third because he thought there was already a runner on first. It was a stupid mental mistake, Nimmo said. For some reason I thought there was somebody on first base when I grabbed the ball beforehand and my intention was to go to third base. I cost us a run here and just a stupid mental mistake, that cant happen. Abrams smashed an RBI triple in the third that put the Mets in a 2-0 hole. But Senga rallied to get three outs with Abrams scoring. The right-hander struck out Lowe and Keibert Ruiz to end the inning after Wood was retired on a check-swing grounder in front of the plate.
