Braves 5, Mets 4: Juan Lagares, Wilmer Flores perfect at plate

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Emilio Bonifacio delivered a walk-off RBI single in a two-run ninth inning against Zack Thornton and the Atlanta Braves rallied for a 5-4 win against the New York Mets on Tuesday at ESPN Wide World of Sports.

Juan Lagares and Wilmer Flores combined to reach base in all six of their plate appearances in the loss.

Lagares finished 2-for-2 with a walk, two RBIs and a stolen base. He had missed three days of games while dealing with a dental issue.

Flores’ third hit -- an RBI single in the fifth inning against Chris Withrow -- had staked the Mets to a 4-2 lead.
