Nationals 9 Mets 7 in 10 Innings on Opening Day at Citifield

I was at work today and not at Citifield. Our first game will be on Saturday afternoon. There was a full house at Citifield that left disappointed as the Amazins lost the home opener 9-7 to the Washington Nationals. Andrew Brown hit a 3 run home run to give the Mets an early lead, but the pitching couldn't hold it. They were ahead 5-4 in the 9th, but Bobby Parnell blew the save. Anthony Rendon hit a home run in the 10th to give the Nationals a 9-5 lead. In the bottom of the inning David Wright a 2 run home for the Mets, but it was not enough.
