For the second night in a row, the Braves played a fairly meaningless game against the New York Mets. For the second night in a row, the Mets hit a couple of homers off of the Atlanta starter, and that was the difference in the game. It happens, and it would have been annoying if it meant anything. As it is, the Braves are just counting down the hours ‘til the NLDS. So it goes.
All the scoring in this one happened quickly and in compressed fashion. Mike Foltynewicz started his third inning of work by allowing a leadoff single to Todd Frazier, and a misplaced slider to former Brave Rene Rivera got deposited into the left-center seats shortly thereafter, granting New York a 2-0 lead.
