Though Livan Hernandez had the flu this week, he was able to shut down the Nationals by throwing seven shutout innings while, his offense supported him with seven runs.

“I was sick and threw up before the game,” Hernandez said. “I don’t care. I like to pitch. I didn’t sleep good last night. … I didn’t feel good, but I like to pitch, no matter what.”

With the much needed win, the Mets improved to 7-2 on the season against Washington. It was a huge series victory for New York who now must play host to league-leading Philadelphia for a three game series, before heading across town to face the Yankees.

Both of these series are bound to be phenomenal. Grab your New York Mets tickets today and join go out and meet the Mets!
