Williams didn't factor into the decision in Monday's 4-3 loss to the Nationals, allowing two runs on 10 hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.
The Nats had at least one runner in scoring position in every inning against Williams, but the right-hander avoided any big rallies and was actually in line for a win when the Mets grabbed a 3-2 lead in the top of the sixth inning while he was still the pitcher of record. Unfortunately, Edwin Diaz blew the save in the ninth. Williams has a remarkable 1.50 ERA through 24.1 innings since joining the Mets in August to fill a swingman role, but his 1.33 WHIP and 12:6 K:BB over that stretch highlight how lucky he's been for his new club.
