The Atlanta Braves fell behind early and their comeback attempt came up just short in a 5-4 loss to the New York Mets in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader.
Charlie Morton came into the game struggling and this one didn’t start out any better. Travis Janikowski reached on an infield single and then moved up to second after Francisco Lindor was hit by a pitch in the foot. Pete Alonso followed with a single to right that scored Jankowski to give the Mets an early lead. Eduardo Escobar followed with another single that scored Lindor to make it 2-0.
