After Braves catcher Ryan Lavarnway doubled off the top of the left-center-field wall with two outs in the seventh, Ciriaco pinch-hit for Teheran and delivered the go-ahead hit off Harvey to shallow center. Atlanta third-base coach Bo Porter aggressively waved Lavarnway toward the plate because he knew Mets center fielder Juan Lagares has been playing with a sore right elbow. Lagares' wide throw to the plate allowed Lavarnway to score in uncontested fashion.
The Braves completed this three-game sweep with the assistance provided by Teheran, who surrendered just one hit over seven scoreless innings.
