With the Mets going on to lose, calls are mounting for umpire Alfonso Márquez to be fired. "The Mets are a superior team by far," a fan claimed. "The only way the Nats beat them is with help from the ump with a blown call resulting in a triple play with no outs. The ump should be fired. The Nats are a charity team."

The Nationals turned their first triple play during a home game, thanks to missed call that wasn't reviewable.

During the New York Mets' gut-wrenching 5-4 loss to the Washington Nationals on Friday, a controversial moment took place. The moment occurred during the top of the fourth inning with the Mets down 2-0.
