Kurt Suzuki’s three-run walk-off home run capped a seven-run ninth inning and lifted the host Washington Nationals to a stunning 11-10 win over the New York Mets.
After the Mets scored five times in the top of the ninth to take a 10-4 lead, Trea Turner doubled home Victor Robles in the bottom of the inning to make it 10-5. Anthony Rendon’s single made it 10-6 and, with the bases loaded, Ryan Zimmerman doubled to the wall in right centre off Edwin Diaz (1-7) to pull Washington within 10-8 to bring up Suzuki, whose 16th homer of the year capped the improbable comeback.
“The game is never over until it’s over, we just try to put good at bats together, and this happens,” Suzuki said. 
“It’s what you strive for every day,” Suzuki added of the walk-off winner. “You want to help the team out any way you can. I don’t know, it’s a pretty cool moment right now.”
Javy Guerra (3-1) got the win by getting the final out in the top of the ninth, a wild inning featuring a combined 12 runs on 11 hits, including three home runs.
Jeff McNeil homered for the second straight day and drove in three runs for New York. Joe Panik and Pete Alonso hit a two-run homers and Wilson Ramos extended his hitting streak to 26 games for the Mets, who are 3-2 on their current road trip.
Juan Soto’s two-run homer, his 32nd, in the eighth inning pulled Washington to within 5-4 but Brandon Nimmo homered leading off the ninth for New York. Panik singled, then Todd Frazier walked after Matt Adams dropped his foul pop, eventually leading to McNeil’s two-out, two-run single followed by Alonso’s 44th home run.
Mets starting pitcher Jacob deGrom allowed four runs on eight hits in seven innings, leaving with a 4-2 lead. He struck out six and walked three. In his third and longest outing since returning from the injured list, Max Scherzer gave up four runs on five hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out seven.
Washington has won five of its last six and 10 of 12, winning on the biggest comeback in the bottom of the ninth inning in franchise history. It also marked the biggest blown ninth-inning lead in Mets club history.
The Nationals broke on top in the first inning on Soto’s RBI double.
The Mets were hitless until Alonso led off the fourth with a single. Michael Conforto singled, Ramos doubled in a run, and Nimmo’s sacrifice fly tied it. Panik then sent Scherzer’s first pitch just over the wall in left centre for a two-run homer, his first as a Met.
The Nationals got a run back in the sixth. With runners on first and second, Suzuki sent a shot to centre that Nimmo couldn’t get as it bounced off the wall. Soto scored from second base, but Adams stopped at second, holding Suzuki to a single. Gerardo Parra then grounded into a double play. McNeil’s homer in the eighth made it 5-2.

Soler breaks KC homer record in win over Tigers
Jorge Soler broke the Kansas City single-season home run record with his 39th of the season, and Ryan O’Hearn hit a walk-off homer in the ninth inning to give the Royals a 6-5 win over the visiting Detroit Tigers on Tuesday night. 
Soler hammered a three-run shot in the third inning, passing Mike Moustakas’ previous club record set in 2017. O’Hearn won it with his first career walk-off home run, a one-out shot off Zac Reininger (0-1).
Kansas City’s Ian Kennedy blew a save for the first time in 15 chances when he allowed an RBI single to Ronny Rodriguez in the top of the ninth. However, Alex Gordon’s throw from left to the plate was in time to keep Willi Castro from scoring the go-ahead run on the play.
Kennedy (2-2) emerged with the win despite allowing a run on three hits in his lone inning.
The Tigers got a run in the third on an RBI single by Grayson Greiner, scoring Travis Demeritte. Victor Reyes then singled, setting up a potential big inning, but the Tigers’ offence stalled.
The Royals answered with three in the third on Soler’s blast, scoring Nick Dini and Whit Merrifield. Soler reached 100 RBIs on the season, the first Royal to reach that total since Eric Hosmer in 2016.
The Tigers drew within one in the seventh. Greiner stroked a two-out single, then scored on a double to the wall in left-centre by Reyes, the third of his four hits. Reyes now has five straight multi-hit games during which he is 13-for-22 (.591).
Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera led off the eighth with a single over shortstop, and Gordon Beckham entered as a pinch runner. Jeimer Candelario then doubled off the glove of right fielder Merrifield, sending Beckham to third with one out.
