The New York Mets, leading 5-0 against the Washington Nationals, faced a turning point when rookie outfielder Nick Morabito mishandled a ball hit by James Wood, resulting in an inside-the-park grand slam. Morabito, who was making his MLB debut, felt he should have caught the ball but it hit the palm of his hand before he crashed into the wall. Mets manager Carlos Mendoza noted that Tyrone Taylor lost track of the ball, contributing to the play’s outcome. The Mets went on to lose the game 9-6.
