NEW YORK — In the final game of a three-game series, the Mets didn’t go down against the Atlanta Braves without a fight.
Brandon Nimmo teed off on left-hander A.J. Minter with one on and one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to help the Mets walk off with a 4-3 win over the Braves and avoid a sweep.
Jeff McNeil led off with a bunt single and was moved over to second by Tomas Nido. On the sixth pitch of the at-bat, Nimmo, who came off the bench because of intercostal soreness, connected on a cutter from Minter, sending it into the visitor’s bullpen.
