A come-from-behind, walk-off win Sunday night over Atlanta particularly was satisfying for the New York Mets, who have spent most of the last three decades trying to chase down the Braves in the National League East.
More importantly, though, the victory provided the Mets some momentum heading into a series against the team being pursued by everyone in Major League Baseball.
The Mets will look to build off Sunday's win on Monday when they host the Philadelphia Phillies in the opener of a two-game series between the divisional rivals. The teams will then play two more games in Philadelphia on Wednesday and Thursday.
