Reynaldo Lopez tossed six scoreless innings and Ronald Acuna Jr. had two hits, three runs scored and three stolen bases as the Atlanta Braves held on for a 6-5 win over the visiting New York Mets on Tuesday.
The Mets trailed 6-0 before Pete Alonso hit a three-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning against Tyler Matzek. New York added two runs in the ninth against Raisel Iglesias and had a runner at first before Iglesias struck out Alonso for his second save.
Lopez (1-0) allowed three hits, with three walks and six strikeouts, for his first win with the Braves since signing last November.
