Collmenter sharp over five innings vs. Mets

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Josh Collmenter prepared to serve as the Braves' long reliever and Rafael Montero provided another glimpse of why he could be an asset in the Mets' bullpen this year. But it was an ugly ninth inning that enabled New York to gain a 2-2 tie against Atlanta on Wednesday at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex.

Chad Sobotka issued three ninth-inning walks, including one to Tim Tebow, before being replaced by Caleb Dirks, who uncorked a wild pitch that allowed Kevin Kaczmarski to race home with the game-tying run.
