NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Newly signed Francisco Cervelli had three hits and three RBI in his Atlanta debut, and the Braves beat the New York Mets 9-5 on Saturday night for their seventh straight victory.
Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a tie-breaking single in the eighth inning, and Billy Hamilton dashed home with another run on the play thanks to a mental lapse by Mets left fielder J.D. Davis.
Freddie Freeman launched his career-high 35th home run in the ninth. Freeman, who began the day leading the majors in RBI, increased his season total to 105.
