Atlanta Braves starter Matt Wisler was doing well until he ran into a speed bump in the 5th. After getting two quick outs, Wisler walked Michael Conforto, Jose Reyes singled to center field and advanced to 2nd on a error by Danny Santana.
The next batter was Jay Bruce and Wisler served up a 3-run home run to Bruce that gave the Mets a 3-0 lead. The Mets added another run in the 6th.
Wilmer Flores, who to this point had been scorching the Braves pitchers, continued to do so by tripling to center.
