CJ Abrams scored from first on a single by James Wood in the ninth inning as the Washington Nationals walked off the Mets with a 5-4 victory Friday at Nationals Park. Thus, the Mets’ winning streak ended at seven games.

Abrams was running on a 3-2 pitch with two outs, and Wood’s single up the middle deflected off of Jeff McNeil’s foot and into shallow center. Tyrone Taylor charged and threw home, but Abrams’ head-first slide beat the tag.

The Nats (12-14) scored twice in the bottom of the ninth.
