Cespedes' slam powers Mets past Braves, 6-1

1) Yoenis Cespedes hit a grand slam in the ninth inning to give the Mets a 6-1 cushion and finished 2-for-5 in his first game since April 27. The Braves intentionally walked Michael Conforto to load the bases following a hit batsman and a double.

2) Robert Gsellman allowed three hits and two walks with four strikeouts over 6 2/3 scoreless innings. He overcame a pair of Asdrubal Cabrera errors in the first and allowed more than two baserunners in a single frame only twice.

3) T.J. Rivera and Wilmer Flores hit sacrifice flies for the Mets.
