ATLANTA — Amed Rosario drove in a career-high four runs, the rookie Pete Alonso rocketed his latest homer into a terrace fountain far beyond the center field fence, and the Mets beat the Atlanta Braves, 6-3, on Thursday night.
Steven Matz pitched six effective innings to snap the longest streak of starts without a decision in Mets history. Rosario hit an early three-run homer and the Mets ended Atlanta’s three-game winning streak in the opener of a four-game series — the first meeting this season between the National League East rivals.
