New York MetsvsAtlanta Braves
NYM 7/ATL 6
Things to say
The Mets beat the Braves 7-6 in 10 innings at Truist Park.
01
opener
Mets stole one in Atlanta, 7-6 in extras. Went to the tenth knotted up and New York finally broke through. Braves had chances and left the door open.
02
key player
The guy who came up big in the tenth flipped the whole game — Mets don't win that one without the late RBI. That's the difference in a one-run night.
03
hot take
Atlanta manager went to the pen too early and it cost him. You've got a 52-37 club, you can't gift a game to a team that's ten under.
04
deep cut
It's a getaway day at 38-53 and the Mets still grind out extra innings on the road. That's a scrappier at-bat quality than the record says.
05
exit
Anyway, one-run games in the tenth are a coin flip — curious if the Braves bounce back next series.
The recap
Mets stole one in Atlanta, grinding out a 7-6 win in ten innings to spoil a getaway day at Truist. The offense clawed back after the Braves bullpen let the door swing open, and New York had just enough left in the tank once free baseball started.
For a club sitting at 38-53, knocking off a first-place team like Atlanta on the road is the kind of scrappy extra-innings win that punches way above their record. Braves fans are gonna be steamed the pen couldn't slam it shut.
