Irvin (7-6) pumped his chest and gestured to the crowd for applause after striking out Tyrone Taylor on his 99th pitch and walking off the mound following the longest outing of his major league career. That was Irvin's eighth strikeout, and he faced just one batter over the minimum, retiring the final 17 batters he faced. “It was a fun day, and (catcher Riley Adams) and I were on the same page all day,” Irvin said. "Being able to pitch on this holiday, it’s something truly special to me, really near and dear to my heart and I loved it, had a lot of fun.” The Mets were blanked for the seventh time this season and were held to only one hit in a game for the first time since a loss to Milwaukee on opening day, something manager Carlos Mendoza chalked up to Irvin's masterful performance. "We had a hard time catching up to his fastball," Mendoza said. “I thought we were late at times for his fastball, and then the way he used the breaking ball kept us off balance, so we couldn’t get much going.” Winker made sure Irvin left with the victory by hitting a curveball from Adrian Houser 407 feet to right-center field. It was his fifth career pinch-hit home run and his 10th of any kind this season. “He was biting at the bit, I can tell you that," Nationals manager Dave Martinez said. "He said, ‘I’ll be ready.’ I said, ‘Oh, I know you’re going to be ready.’ But to come up here and do what he did, it’s awesome. Big win. Big win for us.” Houser (1-5) became the latest Mets reliever to give up a big hit as the beleaguered bullpen slogs on without suspended closer Edwin Díaz. Before Winker's home run, the game was a pitcher's duel — one New York wasted for left-handed starter Jose Quintana, who allowed four hits, walked three and struck out one over seven scoreless innings. He gave the Mets the kind of start they needed given the amount of work the relievers have had to put in with Díaz unavailable. “It means a lot, especially the state of the bullpen," Quinta said. “If you can save one, two innings (for) the bullpen, that’s really good for us.” Derek Law tossed a perfect ninth inning for his first save of the season and the Nationals' second consecutive win, while the Mets fell back below .500 at 42-43. “It happens," Mendoza said. "Just got to turn the page and be ready for another series.” TRAINER'S ROOM Mets: RHP Kodai Senga (shoulder/triceps) is scheduled to throw roughly 50 pitches in his next minor league rehab start next week, which Mendoza said will likely be Tuesday with Triple-A Syracuse. UP NEXT Mets: Unless rain derails it, the series opener Friday at Pittsburgh features RHP Luis Severino (5-2, 3.42 ERA) against Pirates rookie RHP Paul Skenes (4-0, 2.06). Nationals: Continue their homestand Friday against St. Louis, with LHP Patrick Corbin (1-8, 5.49) starting against Cardinals RHP Sonny Gray (9-5, 2.98). ------ AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb ?url=https California Times Brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com Cc Ed D242d04d4ca182803a36369faa35 Https Delivery Gettyimages.com Downloads 1463279529 Kendrick Lamar Media Company Pglang Main Huge Avatar Kendrick Lamar New Album 2024 Release Date Who Is Kendrick Lamar.webp.webp LYNXMPEE3F1SE OCAEN.JPG Image?url=https Seatgeek.com Images Performers Landscape Kendrick Lamar 8fe113 11306 1100x1900 &w=3840&q=75 Kendrick Lamar Performing Again ?w=1200 Kendrick Lamar Glasto 2022 1392x884 Dc7afdb5f4fc5acaab6cbc6d20b85b02 Kendrick Lamar BET Awards 2 KendrickLamar 220511 Kendrick Lamar Deepfakes An Kendrick Lamar 20171215151957 Kendrick%2520Lamar%2520Naomi%2520Campbell 2022 Kendricklamar Getty 2000x1270 696x442 1 Kendricklamar Hero KENDRICK LAMAR AXE CCEREMONIA 2024 6345c5285c5ee530958c521a?ops=contain(1480,0) Wp5741725 Kendrick Lamar1684746366651 Kendrick Lamar At Governors Ball 2023 Kendrick Lamar 1502874912.09.2560x1440 Kendrick Lamar Whitney Alford Kendrick Lamar Net Worth How Did Kendrick Lamar Make Money In 2024 Kendrick Lamar Manager Anthony Saleh Nas 1200x675 658920 V9 Bb Wp5741681 Kendrick Lamar Blue 2017 Live 1548 ?w=1024 Kendrick Lamar Performs Coachella Weekend 1 056 Billboard 1548 ?w=1024 Kendrick Lamar 8k Wr 3840x2160 KendrickLamar 2023 Grammys Acceptance Speech GettyImages 1463277424 Drake Kendrick Lamar Prince Williams Wireimage Arnold Jerocki Getty Images F49f3f65d9d7a65f62f3041b0b089b06 B4db4da505ad84696a916a3d81c82032 Kendrick Lamar Governors Ball 2023
