Josh Thole doubled in the go-ahead runs and finished with three RBIs as the visiting New York Mets picked up their fifth straight victory 6-4 over the Washington Nationals on Tuesday.
Carlos Beltran added an RBI double and David Wright forced in an insurance run with a bases-loaded groundout in the eighth for New York.
The suddenly surging Mets were able to overcome a big night from Nationals rookie Wilson Ramos, who hit a pair of solo homers off Chris Young and chipped in an RBI single in the eighth.
Tied 3-3 after Jayson Werth and Ramos homered in the fourth, New York retook the lead in the sixth. A pair of one-out singles off Jordan Zimmermann (1-4) forced manager Jim Riggleman to go to his bullpen, and Doug Slaten immediately gave up a two-run double to left to Thole.
Four relievers combined to allow one run in 4 1/3 innings for the Mets, with Ryota Igarashi (1-0) getting the win and Francisco Rodriguez earning his fifth save.
