After a scoreless first inning, Juan Soto opened up the scoring with his seventh homer of the year. The Mets did not respond until the fifth when Jeff McNeil knocked in Juan Lagares with an RBI single. The game would remain tied at one until Brian Dozier hit a two-run homer off Zack Wheeler. However, the Mets would respond quickly as J.D. Davis cranked a pinch-hit three-run homer against the Nats weak bullpen. In the eighth, the Nationals responded yet again with RBI doubles from Trea Turner and Juan Soto.

The Nationals bullpen would falter again as Amed Rosario beat out an infield single to win it for the Mets.
