Mets' Tomas Nido homers in the 9th to beat Braves

Catcher Tomas Nido hit a solo homer with two outs in the ninth to help the visiting New York Mets to a 4-3 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday.

Nido, who had three hits in Monday's win, greeted Atlanta closer Will Smith (0-4) with a long fly that reached the seats in left-center. It was his second homer of the season and his first career home run against Atlanta.

Edwin Diaz worked a perfect ninth inning, striking out two, to earn his seventh save and give the Mets their second win in the series.

Atlanta started rookie Tucker Davidson and the left-hander fared well in his second major-league start, his first appearance with the Braves this season.
