despite losing eaton and dropping the first two games of the three-game series against the mets, the nationals capped the month with a historic performance against their new york rivals on april 30, scoring in every inning but the second and winning 23–5 — the first time an mlb team had scored 23 or more runs in a game in nearly 10 years — and benefiting from a stellar performance from third baseman anthony rendon. rendon had never had more than four rbis in a game before, and during his 95 plate appearances of the season prior to april 30 had not a hit a home run and had driven in only five runs, but on april 30 he set a montreal-washington franchise record for runs batted in in a single game with 10, hitting three home runs and a three-run double while going 6-for-6 and scoring five runs. rendon became one of only six major league baseball players to go 6-for-6 and hit three home runs in a game, only the second player in history to do it while also driving in at least 10 runs, and only the 13th player in history with at least 10 rbis in a game. he also became only the fifth nationals player to hit three home runs in agame, joining adam dunn, bryce harper, alfonso soriano, and ryan zimmerman. bautista also made his major league debut in the game, batting twice against kevin plawecki, a catcher making his first-ever major league appearance as a pitcher, and going 0-for-2. plawecki pitched two innings for the mets, retiring the side in order in the seventh inning before giving up four runs in the eighth inning, allowing solo home runs by harper and rendon and a two-run pinch-hit home run by adam lind. the game's 23 runs and seven home runs were both nationals records, and the nationals tied the single-game club record for hits with 23. (coincidentally, on the same day as the nationals' 23–5 win, the team's class-a full season affiliate, the hagerstown suns, also won by 18 runs as they defeated the lexington legends 22–4. like rendon for washington, top nationals infield prospect carter kieboom hit three home runs for hagerstown in that game. the suns set a south atlantic league record with 30 hits in the game.)
