FLUSHING, N.Y. - A day after their ace Max Scherzer fired his second no-hitter of the season, the Nationals have failed to come up with a hit through six innings.

Mets right-hander Jacob deGrom held Washington hitless in the first four innings before leaving the game to stay rested for the National League Division Series later this week. deGrom struck out seven and walked two.

Right-handers Bartolo Colon and Logan Verrett combined for two perfect innings in relief.

Bryce Harper is 0-for-3 with three groundouts.

Meanwhile, right-hander Tanner Roark has been impressive, throwing six scoreless frames while striking out six and only yielding three hits.

Update: Clint Robinson broke up the Mets' no-hit bid with two outs in the seventh on a single to center. Ian Desmond struck out to end the inning.

Roark left after six strong innings.

Left-hander Sammy Solis tossed a scoreless seventh.

Update II: Curtis Granderson smacked a solo homer off right-hander Blake Treinen to give the Mets the lead in the eighth.

Update III: Harper doubled down the left field line with two outs in the ninth. Mets closer Jeurys Familia got Jayson Werth to pop out to end the game and the Nats' season.

The Mets beat the Nats 1-0.

The Nats finished 83-79.
