Mets go for team scoring mark against Braves

The New York Mets have been scoring runs in bunches, regardless of the manner in which they are doing it.

The Mets aim to keep the scoreboard operator busy and perhaps set a franchise record on Saturday as they play the third contest of a four-game series against the host Atlanta Braves.

Brandon Nimmo, who was dropped from the leadoff position to No. 8, belted a two-run homer to highlight his three-hit performance in New York's 6-2 victory on Friday. The Mets matched a franchise record by scoring at least six runs in their sixth straight game, equaling the mark set on four previous occasions.
