In what was rightfully billed to be a pitchers’ duel between Spencer Strider and Justin Verlander, the Braves and Mets combined for eight runs in the first inning and a half of baseball and ultimately 23 runs over 10 innings as Atlanta walked off New York, 13-10, on Thursday night. In total, the two pitchers gave up 13 runs on 15 hits and six walks in 7.0 combined innings pitched.
With the win, the Braves’ fifth in a row, Atlanta improves to 38-24 on the year, while New York falls to 30-33 and eight and a half games back in the NL East.
