NEW YORK -- Long after prized prospect Lucas Giolito stumbled in his second major league start, the frustrated Washington Nationals left Citi Field still angry at the umpires.Not only the players, either.Even general manager Mike Rizzo got into a heated exchange with crew chief Jim Joyce just moments after the final out.Wilmer Flores hit a go-ahead, three-run homer and the surging New York Mets rallied past Washington 9-7 on Thursday night in the back-and-forth opener of a pivotal four-game series between the top teams in the NL East.We fought back, they fought back. Probably a heck of a game to watch, but a terrible game to lose, Nationals manager Dusty Baker said.Washingtons attempt to rally in the ninth inning was thwarted when Jayson Werth was called for an illegal takeout slide at second base, giving the Mets a double play after shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera made a diving stop of Daniel Murphys sharp grounder.To me, thats a clean slide. Its been a clean slide for over 100 years, Werth said. The only difference between the three slides tonight that went past the bag is that there was contact on that one. So if the rule is just that you cant make contact, then Major League Baseball needs to clarify that.I feel like it changes from day to day, from series to series and in this case, from inning to inning, he added.The call was upheld following a replay review, and Rizzo later got into a shouting match with Joyce, the second base umpire, that drew security in the concrete tunnel between clubhouses.I know Ive been told four or five different things from different crews about the rules and last time I was told it was going to be a common-sense type thing, Baker said. I dont know how you teach young players now to break up a double play, because theres no such thing as breaking up a double play.Jose Reyes, Travis dArnaud and Cabrera also went deep for New York in a slugfest that featured eight home runs -- most in the eight-year history of Citi Field. Curtis Granderson reached base five times and scored twice.The second-place Mets improved to 7-1 on their 11-game homestand leading into the All-Star break and shaved Washingtons division lead to three games, two in the loss column. The Nationals swept three games from the Mets at home last week to open a six-game lead.Murphy homered and drove in three runs, his latest big performance against the Mets since the defending NL champions let him leave as a free agent in the offseason. Bryce Harper, Clint Robinson and Anthony Rendon hit solo shots off 43-year-old Bartolo Colon in the fourth to give the Nationals a 4-1 lead.That put Giolito in good position to earn his first career win, but the 21-year-old right-hander faded fast. He threw 90 pitches over 3 2/3 innings and gave up four runs, seven hits and four walks. Both his major league outings have come against the Mets.I didnt really have good command from the start of the game and once I started to give up a lot of hard contact, the game started to speed up, Giolito said. It got away from me.After the ninth-inning double play, All-Star closer Jeurys Familia struck out Harper for his major league-best 31st save.Flores, who had just come off the bench in a double switch to play first base, connected off Oliver Perez (2-2) in the fifth to put New York up 7-6.Hansel Robles (3-3) retired Rendon with the bases loaded to end the top of the fifth.BIG HITTERIn a stunning bright spot, Perez went 2 for 2 at the plate with a double and scored a run for the first time since 2009 with the Mets. They were his first hits since 2010 for New York. A career .158 hitter coming into the game, he hustled into second on his sixth-inning double to right field and made it safely with more of a headfirst plunge, really, than a slide or a dive. On the other hand, my real job is to get the hitters out and I failed to do that, Perez said through a translator. The previous major league reliever with a multihit game was Esmil Rogers for Colorado at San Diego on July 30, 2011.TRAINERS ROOMNationals 1B Ryan Zimmerman, who homered Wednesday against Milwaukee, sat out because of general soreness. It was simply a precaution and he is day to day, Baker said. Robinson started at first base.UP NEXTWashington RHP Stephen Strasburg (11-0, 2.71 ERA) faces RHP Noah Syndergaard (9-3, 2.41) for the first time Friday night in a marquee matchup of ace pitchers heading to the All-Star Game next week in San Diego. Strasburg was pulled with a no-hitter intact after 6 2/3 innings Sunday against Cincinnati because he had already thrown 109 pitches in his first start since an upper back strain landed him on the DL. <a href="https://www.cheapbraves.com/1343o-freddie-freeman-jersey-braves.html">Freddie Freeman Braves Jersey</a>. On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. <a href="https://www.cheapbraves.com/1943o-jim-bouton-jersey-braves.html">Jim Bouton Jersey</a>. Aduriz headed home Markel Susaetas cross in the sixth minute to open the scoring at San Mames Stadium. He bettered that with a long-range blast that went in off the goal frame in the 18th, and converted a penalty in the 72nd after Diego Mainz was sent off for fouling Aduriz with only the goalkeeper to beat. <a href="https://www.cheapbraves.com/343o-phil-niekro-jersey-braves.html">https://www.cheapbraves.com/343o-phil-niekro-jersey-braves.html</a>.J. -- Marty Brodeur beat the Pittsburgh Penguins yet again. <a href="https://www.cheapbraves.com/">Stitched Braves Jerseys</a>. Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. <a href="https://www.cheapbraves.com/2013o-john-smoltz-jersey-braves.html">John Smoltz Braves Jersey</a>.Y. -- The Buffalo Sabres have placed centre Cody Hodgson on injured reserve and recalled two players from their AHL affiliate in Rochester.
