The first place New York Mets put a thumping on the bottom-dwelling Washington Nationals yesterday, 13-5, and expect more of the same tonight when they meet again at Citi Field. New York will face lefty Patrick Corbin, who is a far cry from his days in Arizona. Corbin is 1-7 with a 6.30 ERA and a 1.66 WHIP, which is not good against a Mets team that averages over 5 runs per game. The Mets will send Trevor Williams to the hill. He has yet to notch a victory, at 0-3, with a 4.37 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP, but that will change tonight. The Mets have won 4 straight, are 17-8 in Queens, and are 6-2 this year against the Nats.
