Tim Healey Newsday: Brandon Nimmo's homer caps nine-run fourth inning as Mets blow out Nationals again. "From stomach bugs to a shoulder issue that could’ve been so much worse to that fainting episode to an unusual amount of lineup shuffling, Brandon Nimmo is willing to be blunt about it: He has had a weird year, and not in a good way. But after the Mets pummeled the Nationals, 10-0, Wednesday night — his three-run home run serving as the climax to a nine-run fourth inning — he expressed his hope that soon none of it would matter."

Brian Joura Mets360: "Jose Quintana had a sparkling outing to continue both his recent hot pitching and his season-long dominance of the Nationals, leading the Mets to a 10-0 victory Wednesday night at Citi Field. The win upped the Mets’ record to 84-68 and they finish the year 11-2 against the Nats."
