Four-run rally propels Mets past Braves

Field Level Media

Francisco Lindor's two-out RBI single completed a four-run seventh-inning rally and sparked the visiting New York Mets to a 4-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.

The Mets, who trailed 3-0 entering the inning, tied the game on James McCann's three-run homer, a blow that knocked out Atlanta starter Charlie Morton. It was McCann's seventh homer, four of them coming in June.

New York took the lead against reliever A.J. Minter (1-3) when pinch hitter Jose Peraza doubled and scored on Lindor's sharp single to center.

The Mets began their rally against Morton with a soft single from Dominic Smith and a walk to Kevin Pillar -- who thought he had been called out on a 2-2 pitch and turned to go to the dugout -- before McCann delivered the home run.
