Double trouble: Mets ride 2Bs, deGrom in Atlanta

ATLANTA -- Norichika Aoki notched two of the six doubles allowed by the Braves and Gavin Cecchini recorded a career-best three hits as the Mets added to R.A. Dickey's recent struggles and snapped an eight-game road losing streak with Saturday night's 7-3 win at SunTrust Park.

After manufacturing the game's first two runs with four singles during the second inning, the Mets doubled their lead after opening the third inning with three consecutive doubles. Cecchini added an RBI double in the fourth to provide more comfort for Jacob deGrom, who notched seven strikeouts and allowed just one run over seven innings.
