Nathaniel Lowe goes 3-for-4, doubles twice

Wilson still has some swelling in the finger. Alika Williams is playing shortstop tonight.

Severino has been out since May 30 with a strained shoulder. He’s back throwing now, but he hasn’t advanced to the point to make a return in the next 6 1/2 weeks seem realistic. Perhaps things would be different if the A’s were a contender and had incentive to bring him back as a reliever.

Benge drew a walk in the first inning, then led off the bottom of the sixth with a solo homer off Tom Cosgrove. Benge would later draw his second walk of the game in the eighth. The 23-year-old outfielder has had a stellar rookie campaign, hitting .275/.338/.419 with 14 homers, 63 runs scored, 49 RBI, and 18 steals across 488 plate appearances.

Lindor drew a walk and scored a run in the first inning, then led off the eighth with a single and was caught stealing. He then came through for the Mets in the ninth, delivering the walk-off hit to score the winning run. The 32-year-old shortstop is hitting .244/.332/.442 with 12 homers, 38 runs scored, 32 RBI, and three steals across 292 plate appearances.

The Nats were limited to one run into the sixth inning before House broke through with a three-run homer off Sean Manaea to give the team the lead. The 23-year-old third baseman is up to nine homers and 31 RBI while slashing .242/.295/.408 across 241 plate appearances.

Manaea came out sharp in this one, tossing three scoreless innings before Andrés Chaparro took him deep for a solo homer to lead off the fourth. Things unraveled for Manaea in the sixth as he surrendered a three-run blast to Brady House. He returned to record one out in the seventh, leaving with a runner on third at 93 pitches with seven strikeouts. The 34-year-old left-hander will take a 4.22 ERA, 1.32 WHIP, and a 113/37 K/BB ratio across 111 innings into a start against the White Sox in Chicago on Friday.

The Nationals were hoping to get at least four innings out of Lord on Saturday. They got four walks and were forced to go to the bullpen only two outs into the first inning. Lord gave up a base-loaded double to bring two runs in for New York, then loaded the bases again on his fourth walk. He then departed at 44 pitches. The 26-year-old right-hander will take a 4.04 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 57/25 K/BB ratio across 62 1/3 innings into a start against the Marlins in Miami on Friday.

Junis will return to his setup role in front of Jacob Latz after 15 days off for an adductor strain.

Gonzales got a double play ball from the one batter he faced in his one day in the majors.

Gilbert took the leadoff spot against the Rockies and drew a walk to start the game before taking Michael Lorenzen deep for a solo homer in the third inning. He then drove in two more runs with a base hit in the fourth before scoring for a second time. Gilbert later singled in the sixth to collect his third hit and reach base for a fourth time. The 25-year-old outfielder is hitting .243/.330/.376 with six homers, 34 runs scored, and 28 RBI across 293 plate appearances.
