A member of the Washington Nationals Grounds team was not as fast as he needed during the rain delay on Saturday in Nationals Park.
The rain began to fall into the first entry of a game without goals between the nationals and the New York Mets.
The game began later than scheduled due to the inclement weather, but the conditions forced the game to stop shortly after it started.

But shortly after the site crew received instructions to get the canvas, a person avoided little what could have been a serious injury.

That member of the Grounds crew seemed to lose his balance, and his impulse carried him forward and on the canvas while throwing himself on the earth of the painting. The crew members continued momentarily displaying the canvas, which turned out that the waterproof cover was filmed on the man’s back.
The rain delay lasted less than an hour. Once the action resumed, the receiver of the METS, Francisco Alvarez, hit a two-run homer in the second entrance to give New York a 2-0 advantage. The Mets maintained that leadership from the eighth entry.

The game also scored the first series of former Washington star, Juan Soto, in Nationals Park as a member of the METS.

Soto spent the first 4½ seasons of his MLB career with the nationals. He was changed to San Diego’s parents in August 2022. Soto reached 41 homers in his career during his season with the New York Yankees in 2024.
He changed to the districts of New York City in the low season, exchanging stripes for the Blue and Orange Mets. When Soto agreed to join the METS, he signed the most lucrative contract in the sports history of North America. It was reported that the 15 -year agreement was worth a record of $ 765 million.
The nationals entered Saturday’s contest in the fourth place in the National League of the East, while the Mets sat first in the division.
