Mets outfielder Brandon Nimmo hit a solo home run Sunday against two-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer. The ball landed in the second deck at Citi Field.

Nimmo, who was not known for his power in the minor leagues, told reporters Sunday that he's not surprised to see himself hitting home runs in the big leagues.

"I can definitely hit home runs," said Nimmo, who has been working with the coaching staff to simplify his swing. "I think when I find the barrel more often, you're going to see that happen more."

Mets pitcher Jacob deGrom surpassed 200 innings pitched for the season during Sunday's 3-2 loss to the Nationals at Citi Field.

DeGrom was charged with two earned runs and lasted six innings Sunday, giving him a total of 201.1 innings pitched for the year. Also Sunday, by striking out 11 batters, deGrom became just the fifth Mets pitcher to have 11 double-digit strikeout games in a single season.

"It's definitely big for me," deGrom said of reaching the 200-inning milestone. "We've got plans to hopefully go to the World Series next year, and that's something I wanted to get to, to know what it's like to pitch that many innings in a year."

The Mets enter Monday having lost five of their last six games, including two of three to the Nationals this past weekend at Citi Field.

The Mets will be going into the offseason with a lot of question marks, but one thing is clear: they need more starting pitching. Sandy Alderson has said in interviews that he will be looking for someone who can be counted on for a lot of innings, which probably means they would be steering clear of high-ceiling starters with injury issues, such as Michael Pineda and Lance Lynn.

The sticker prices on Yu Darvish and Jake Arrieta will probably deter the Mets, so who are some mid-level starters they should have their eye on?

Despite striking out 11 batters in six innings, Jacob deGrom and the Mets lost to Max Scherzer and the Washington Nationals 3-2 on Sunday at Citi Field. >> Box score

DeGrom (15-10) allowed three runs (two earned) and five hits in six innings, as he surpassed the 200-inning mark in a season for the first time in his career.

He gave up a two-run home run to Trea Turner in the third inning, then allowed an RBI single to Jose Lobaton in the fifth inning after Michael Taylor led off the fifth inning with a single, stole second and advanced to third on Travis d'Arnaud's throwing error.

Mets RHP Chasen Bradford said he respects the message A's catcher Bruce Maxwell sent when he took a knee for the national anthem, even if he doesn't respect the way he did it.

Maxwell, a rookie who hails from a military family, kneeled and held his hat against his chest on Saturday while teammate Mark Canha rested his hand on Maxwell's shoulder in support. Maxwell became the first MLB player to do so.

Mets RHP Matt Harvey showed signs of progress despite allowing three runs in the first bullpen appearance of his career on Saturday. 

With Noah Syndergaard throwing just one inning, Harvey came out after him in their "shared" start. Harvey let up two homers in his four-inning outing, yet he did like what he felt on the mound. 

Michelle Ioannou, MetsBlog | Twitter |: Mets fans are frustrated that the Dark Knight has not risen yet, and Matt Harvey is clearly frustrated with himself as well. There may not be many positives to say about Harvey when he's on the mound, but the open way he addresses the media after the game has been a positive.

Danny Abriano, SNY.tv | Twitter | On July 26, 2012 in Arizona, Matt Harvey made his presence felt, striking out 11 Diamondbacks in 5 1/3 scoreless innings while allowing three hits and walking three in his Mets debut.

Harvey, who many scouts projected to be a No. 2 or No. 3 starter, took it up a notch after arriving from Triple-A Buffalo, featuring wipeout sliders that reached the low-90s, fastballs that sat between 95 and 97 MPH and at times ticked higher, a plus changeup, and a plus curve. 

With the Mets In the midst of their fourth-straight losing season, Harvey was not only a legitimate ace, but the first real glimmer of hope for the team as Sandy Alderson's rebuild took shape...

Mets outfielder Michael Conforto (shoulder) spoke to reporters Saturday afternoon and said he'll likely return to baseball activities in about six months. 

"The general outline is six months, that's what both doctors said," Conforto said of the timetable to return. "It's not a set deadline, I guess. When I see the doctor again in a couple of weeks, we'll see where I'm at , see where my range of motion is, see where the strength is and kind of go from there."

Conforto, who dislocated his shoulder and tore the posterior capsule during a swing on Aug. 24 against the Diamondbacks, underwent surgery in Los Angeles two weeks ago to correct the issues.

Mets LHP Steven Matz pushed himself to pitch through pain, but instead ended up choosing surgery, he recently told James Wagner of the NY Times.

"Ultimately, it was my decision," Matz is quoted as saying. "I wanted to go out there and pitch because I'm so sick of being on the D.L. And I did everything I could."

Matz missed the first two months of this season with what was described as elbow inflammation, the result of which may have been a side effect of the bone spur surgery that ended his 2016...

"I felt good, I think they were just able to make adjustments. They weren't falling for my changeup," Montero said after the game. "I think they were aware of my changeup early on, so they weren't biting or swinging at it and instead going for my sinker and slider."

In the third inning, Montero tossed a 93.8 mph fastball that Marlins 1B Justin Bour hit for a two-run home run. It was the first home run Montero had allowed in six starts...
