WASHINGTON -- Washington Nationals outfielder Jayson Werth had one regret following his game-saving catch Friday night.
Frank Clark Seahawks Jersey . "I probably should have untucked my shirt, but I didnt," he joked, referring to closer
Rafael Sorianos signature move upon the completion of a save. Tyler Moore had
two hits and drove in a pair of runs, and Washington relievers threw four
scoreless innings - the last one thanks in large part to Werth -- as the
Nationals defeated the New York Mets 5-2. Soriano got his ninth save after
Werths game-ending jumping catch against the right field wall on a drive by
Daniel Murphy with two on and two outs. "I think the rain might have knocked it
down a little bit, give me a better chance at it. It was close," Werth said. He
wasnt sure if the ball would have made it out. "In my heart of hearts, I knew it
was going to be close," Murphy said. "(Soriano) crowded me just a little bit. He
got it on me just a hair . Jason made a good play on it." Soriano retired the
first two batters before walking pinch hitter Juan Lagares and Eric Young. That
brought up Murphy, who began play with a .337 road batting average. "Murphs been
one of their hottest hitters of late and hes one of their best hitters overall,
so its never comfortable when hes at the plate with a chance to tie the game,"
Nationals manager Matt Williams said. "But its a game of inches sometimes and he
didnt quite get enough of it." Scott Hairston had an RBI double and a single for
Washington, which has won nine straight against the Mets going back to last
season, and was beginning a stretch of 15 of 19 games at home. Nationals starter
Tanner Roark (3-1) pitched five innings, giving up two runs on four hits.
Ross Detwiler, Drew Storen, and Tyler Clippard handled the sixth, seventh and
eighth innings, respectively. The Mets snapped a 22-inning scoreless streak,
their second longest of the season, with two runs in the fifth. Jonathon Niese
(2-3) took the loss, allowing five runs, three earned, in four innings. It was
Nieses shortest outing since June 20, 2013 at Atlanta, when he left after 3 1-3
innings due to injury. The Mets defence hurt Niese early as the first three
Nationals hitters of the game reached safely and scored. After Denard Span
singled, third baseman Wright misplayed Anthony Rendons grounder for an error.
Werth then singled home Span, and Washington added two more runs on a sacrifice
fly and a fielders choice grounder that might have been a double play. But the
ball was bobbled briefly by second baseman Murphy. "I just couldnt get into a
rhythm, fell behind, wasnt able to execute pitches when I needed to," Niese
said. "When that happens its tough for the defence to stay on their toes when Im
working behind." In the third, Hairston doubled home Ramos and scored on a
single by Moore to make it 5-0. Following consecutive shutout losses to the
Yankees the Mets finally broke through against Roark. Lucas Duda opened the
fifth with a single and Anthony Recker doubled. Duda scored on a groundout by
Ruben Tejada and Youngs double brought home Recker to pull New York within 5-2.
The game was delayed briefly when a fan came onto the field near the Nationals
dugout and ran from first base around to home with one out in the ninth. He was
tackled hard by a security person just behind home plate, drawing cheers from
the crowd. NOTES: Washington selected the contract of 1B Greg Dobbs and optioned
C Sandy Leon to Triple-A Syracuse prior to Fridays game. Dobbs, released by the
Marlins on May 6, was signed as a minor league free agent Monday. To make room
on the 40-man roster, the Nationals put Syracuse outfielder Eury Perez (broken
toe) on the 60-day DL. . Manager Matt Williams said two Nationals on the DL, LF
Bryce Harper (left thumb strain) and 3B Ryan Zimmerman (right thumb fracture),
have doctor appointments next week and will get progress reports. . Mets RHP
pitcher Jenrry Mejia, being eased into the closers role, was unavailable after
pitching the ninth inning Thursday night. "He hasnt been back-to-back in four
years, so weve got to be careful," Collins said, adding Mejia will pitch
consecutive games soon. . New Yorks Bartolo Colon (2-5, 5.84) opposes

runs -- most in baseball -- while allowing 181, the fewest in
baseball.SALSOMAGGIORE TERME, Italy -- French rider Nacer Bouhanni timed another
sprint to perfection to win his third stage in this years Giro dItalia, and
Cadel Evans overall lead remained unchanged after Tuesdays 10th leg. Bouhanni
clocked just over 4 hours on the mostly flat 173-kilometre (108-mile) route from
Modena to Salsomaggiore Terme. Italian rider Giacomo Nizzolo finished second for
his fourth podium finish of this years race and Michael Matthews of Australia
was third, both with the same time as Bouhanni. It was the eighth win this year
and the 28th career victory for Bouhanni, who rides for the FDJ.fr team. "The
speed was very high at the end. I took Nizzolos wheel and was able to pass him,"
Bouhanni said of his burst to the line. "My goal is the points jersey." With
Mark Cavendish skipping the Giro and with Marcel Kitttle having withdrawn after
winning the first two individual stages, Bouhanni doesnt have many rivals in the
sprints capable of beating him. "Cavendish is Cavenddish and Im Bouhanni," the
stage winner said when asked who was faster, adding that he stays fit in the
off-season by boxing.

rivals," Evans said. The race ends in Trieste on June 1.
