Nationals Park, Washington, D.C.
It's taken just over a week for the New York Mets to go from spiraling to surging.
The Mets look to extend their winning streak to seven games by completing a series sweep of the Washington Nationals on Thursday night.
New York (11-13) is on its longest winning streak since an eight-game run from June 10-18 -- a stretch that includes the last time the club swept a road series, winning three in a row at Cleveland.
The Mets' current surge has become a major source of confidence after a 2-12 stretch placed them at the bottom of the NL East. Terry Collins' club has posted a .305 average with 10 homers and has outscored opponents 39-17.
The bats came up big again Wednesday, collecting 11 hits in a 6-3 win. Daniel Murphy made the difference, hitting a game-tying homer in the eighth before connecting for two-run double to spark a four-run, ninth-inning rally.
It was the first time the Mets trailed on the road in the ninth and rallied to win since beating Florida on Sept. 25, 2009.
