Braves Bullpen Holds Mets In Check Late As Atlanta Comes Back To Win 5-3

NEW YORK (AP) Cameron Maybin had a two-run single in the 11th inning, and the Atlanta Braves' beleaguered bullpen shut down the Mets over the final four-plus innings in a come-from-behind, 5-3 victory over New York on Saturday.

Maybin came up with runners on second and third and one out, and sent a liner off Carlos Torres (2-3) into left-center for the two-run lead.

Facing a Mets bullpen without closer Jeurys Familia, whose son was born while he was finishing off Friday night's win, the Braves rallied for two in the ninth to end a five-game skid against New York.
