NEW YORK — Jose Quintana extended his scoreless streak to a career-high 22 2/3 innings and Brandon Nimmo's three-run homer capped a nine-run fourth as the surging New York Mets beat the Washington Nationals 10-0 to finish a three-game sweep. Luisangel Acuña homered again for the Mets, who have won 15 of 19. They moved a season-high 16 games above .500 and remained tied with Arizona for the second of three NL wild cards — two games ahead of Atlanta for the league's last playoff spot. Acuña, Mark Vientos and Starling Marte each drove in two runs as the Mets followed a 10-1 victory Tuesday night with another blowout of Washington. Quintana allowed two hits in seven innings. He held Washington without a run in three starts covering 21 innings this season.
