New York MetsvsAtlanta Braves
NYM 10/ATL 9
Things to say
The Mets edged the Braves 10-9 on the road at Truist Park.
01
opener
Man, what a slugfest. Mets took it 10-9 in Atlanta. Both bullpens got absolutely lit up.
02
key player
The whole heart of the Mets order was locked in. When you hang ten on the road against a first-place club, the top of the lineup did its job.
03
hot take
Braves manager went to the pen way too early. You're up in a game like that, you let your starter wear it a little longer.
04
deep cut
And get this — Mets came in at 37-53, dead last vibes, and just walked into Truist and outslugged a 52-36 team. Nobody saw that coming.
05
exit
Anyway, if the Mets bats stay hot, this Atlanta series gets real interesting. Curious who they run out there tomorrow.
The recap
Mets and Braves turned a getaway day into a slugfest at Truist, and New York came out on top 10-9. The Braves kept clawing back, but Atlanta's manager went to the pen too early and the middle relief couldn't hold the lead.
New York's heart of the order kept the line moving all afternoon, and a couple balls left the yard to swing it. For a team sitting at 37-53, stealing this one on the road against a first-place club is the kind of win that keeps the clubhouse loose.
