ATLANTA — Jacob deGrom’s best performance of 2016 should have been enough to yield his first win in nearly two months Saturday.
But finally removing Michael Conforto from the scene and sending him to Triple-A Las Vegas for a tuneup wasn’t enough to get this Mets lineup rolling against a pitcher as talented as Julio Teheran.
Finally, the dam cracked in the 11th inning with pinch hitter Kelly Johnson’s solo home run against reliever Dario Alvarez that gave the Mets a 1-0 victory over the Braves at Turner Field.
