Last night, the Mets jumped all over Kyle Wright and then hung on as the Braves tried to rally. Tonight, the Braves crushed Taijuan Walker, and despite more struggles from Ian Anderson, locked it down with a 9-6 win.
This game had the look of a straight laugher early. Dansby Swanson and Matt Olson hit back-to-back doubles with one out in the first to score the game’s first run. After Walker plunked Austin Riley, Eddie Rosario hit a fly ball into the Citi Field right-field corner that landed behind the fence for a three-run homer that was both barreled and had a sub-50 percent hit probability.
