ATLANTA — An awkward silence fell over the crowd twice at Truist Park on Monday night. Ronald Acuña Jr. barely moved from his post in right field as the ball went sailing over his head each time.
For the first time in eight games between the Mets and Braves in Atlanta, the groans outweighed the cheers from the home fans.
With a balanced offensive effort up and down the lineup, the Mets broke out in a huge way, using home runs from DJ Stewart, Rafael Ortega and Francisco Lindor to break away for a 10-4 victory over the Braves on Monday night at Truist Park.
