WASHINGTON (AP) —rmances on the day the meaningful portion of their season ended.Rookie Austin Voth and four relievers combined on a one-hitter Joe Maddon Jersey , and the Nationals beat the New York Mets 6-0 on Saturday, hours after they were eliminated from playoff contention.“It stings,” manager Dave Martinez said. “But we’ve still got seven more games. … These guys don’t quit. They came out ready to play today.”Matt Wieters and Trea Turner homered for Washington, and Bryce Harper added an RBI double.The Nationals’ loss Friday night, coupled with the Atlanta Braves’ win, knocked them out of the NL East race. Then, shortly after Saturday’s game began, the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants on a 10th-inning homer, ending Washington’s slim wild card hopes.“It’s something where we felt like we had the talent in this clubhouse and we still feel like we have the talent in this clubhouse,” Wieters said. “We just didn’t play well enough and that’s why this game’s played on the field and not in the papers and that’s what’s great about it.”Favored to win a third straight division title, the Nationals slid into third place on June 22 and remained there.Ownership stood pat at the July trade deadline, and the team responded by winning six of seven games. However, a four-game losing streak soon had the Nationals nine games out of first place in mid-August, and the team unloaded players including Daniel Murphy and Matt Adams.The team dealt with injuries to pitchers Stephen Strasburg and Sean Doolittle Willson Contreras Jersey , as well as Adam Eaton, Murphy and Ryan Zimmerman, but even when healthy, Washington was unable to put together an extended winning stretch. The Nationals are 78-77 with seven games remaining after going 97-65 a year ago.“I think all of us in here would sit here and tell you we came here every day and did everything we could to try and win. At least I did. Because of that I can go home and be at peace with it,” Zimmerman said. “Obviously, it’s frustrating. You want to come out and win every year and have a chance to go into the playoffs.”Voth (1-1), making his second major league start, allowed only an infield single to Michael Conforto leading off the fourth inning. Voth struck out five with two walks in five innings.“He kept us off balance,” Mets manager Mickey Callaway said. “He had a good curveball I thought. He was able to throw it for strikes … and then he got it down when he needed to, and his fastball command was pretty good.”Even with Saturday’s win, the Nationals will lose the season series to the fourth-place Mets.Turner’s 18th homer of the season, a two-run shot, put Washington ahead in the third, and Wieters added a three-run homer off reliever Jerry Blevins in the sixth.New York’s Corey Oswalt (3-3) allowed two runs over five innings.Matt Grace http://www.chicagocubsteamshop.com/authentic-david-ross-jersey , Justin Miller, Jimmy Cordero and Austen Williams each worked an inning for Washington in relief of Voth.Harper drew his 125th walk of the season, a career high and a Nationals record.STREAKINGWashington’s Anthony Rendon extended his on-base streak to 30 games with a sixth-inning double, and Turner extended his on-base streak to 22 games with a first-inning double.TRAINER’S ROOMMets: 2B Jeff McNeil was given the day off.Nationals: OF Eaton (sore and stiff left knee) was out of the starting lineup for the fifth time in six games.UP NEXTLHP Steven Matz (5-11, 4.18 ERA) makes his sixth start of the season against the Nationals, who will start RHP Erick Fedde (2-3, 5.02) in the series finale. The Boston Red Sox are in the position that many thought they would be in as the World Series started. After beating the Los Angeles Dodgers by a 9-6 margin in Game 4, they have a 3-1 lead and are one game away from winning the 2018 World Series.The Red Sox will try to finish off the Dodgers in Game 5 Sunday night at 8:15 p.m. ET at Dodger Stadium.

Phillip/Associated Press They may be on the edge of their fourth World Series title since 2004, but it was anything but easy. The Red Sox were coming off a brutal 18-inning 3-2 defeat in Game 3, and their offense had been lifeless through six innings against 38-year-old Dodger lefty Rich Hill.The Dodgers starter had given up just one hit in the game, but L.A. manager Dave Roberts took him out with a runner on first and one out in the seventh. That turned out to be a pivotal moment.Los Angeles had broken through in the bottom of the sixth inning. The game had been scoreless up to that point, as Eduardo Rodriguez had held the Dodgers to two hits. L.A. got on the board when catcher Christian Vazquez's relay throw to first base went up the line for an error as he tried to complete a double play, and Yasiel Puig added a three-run homer.That blow to left field had the feel of a back-breaker since the Boston offense had been sleeping. But Mitch Moreland turned that around with a three-run home run off Ryan Madson in the top of the seventh inning. That shot deep into the right-field bleachers breathed life into the Red Sox dugout.Joe Kelly blunted the Dodgers in the bottom of the seventh inning, and the Red Sox came to bat in the eighth inning against Los Angeles closer Kenley Jansen. A day after giving up a tying home run to Jackie Bradley Jr., he did the same to Steve Pearce."That's a good team over there," Jansen explained after the game on the MLB Network postgame broadcast. "I made one mistake yesterday and one mistake today, and they hit them."Kelly fired another scoreless inning in the bottom of the eighth, and the Red Sox went to work in the ninth. Brock Holt got things started with a one-out double that he sliced down the left field line, and Rafael Devers lined a single to center that scored the go-ahead run.Mookie Betts followed with a walk, and Andrew Benintendi had an infield single before Pearce unloaded the bases with a three-run double to right center. Xander Bogaerts drove in Pearce with a single.Craig Kimbrel was shaky in the ninth Mike Montgomery Jersey , giving up a two-run homer to Kike Hernandez, but the Red Sox wiped their collective brow and took home the win when CodyBellinger flew out to Benintendi to end the game.Pearce credited the Red Sox's pitching for giving the team a chance while the offense struggled in Game 3 and the first six innings of Game 4."Our offense went silent for about 20-plus innings, but our pitchers did a great job," Pearce told MLB Network reporter Heidi Watney. "Then we came to life, and it was a great team win. We still have one more win to go."The Red Sox were expected to send Chris Sale to the mound in Game 5, but Red Sox manager Alex Cora revealed in his postgame press conference that David Price would get the ball and oppose Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers.Cora mentioned the change as he was leaving the press conference, but he came back to explain that he thought Price would have the better matchup and that Sale would pitch in Game 6 if necessary.Price has been solid in his two World Series outings, as he started in Game 2 and pitched in relief in Game 3. He has allowed four hits and two runs while striking out five and walking four.Kershaw was shaky in Game 1, giving up seven hit and five runs (all earned) in 4.0 innings. He struck out five and walked three.The left-hander has been the ace of the Dodgers' staff for years, and while he has lost some velocity in recent years, he should have enough to rise to the occasion.The Red Sox will challenge him and fight hard to win the World Series in Dodger Stadium, but it is going to be difficult to beat the Los Angeles ace at his home ballpark.
