Mets shortstop Ruben Tejada went 0 for 3 in his return to the starting lineup during a 2-0 win over Washington on Sunday. Tejada, who was held out of the lineup for the first time Saturday because of a minor ankle issue, is now 0 for 11 in his past four games to drop his batting average to .220.
The 23-year-old also made a nifty stop to his left in the seventh inning to retire Kurt Suzuki -- an encouraging sign as he is currently tied for the major-league lead with six errors.
