ATLANTA — Nothing came easy for the Mets through the first 10 games of the season, but a resounding win over the Atlanta Braves should send them back to New York riding high.
The Mets took their first series of the year from their NL East rivals on Thursday afternoon, routing the Braves ,16-4, at Truist Park.
DJ Stewart hit his second home run in the series, Jeff McNeil went 2 for 3 with three RBIs and two runs scored, Pete Alonso went 2 for 4 with two runs scored and Francisco Alvarez went 2 for 5 and drove in two runs.
