NEW YORK (AP) — Daylen Lile hit an inside-the-park homer in the 11th inning that sent the Washington Nationals past the New York Mets 5-3 on Saturday. With a runner on first base and one out, Lile drove a 2-2 sinker from Tyler Rogers (4-6) off the center-field wall. The ball caromed far away from Cedric Mullins as the speedy Lile circled the bases.
