The Braves beat the Mets 5-2 doing what the Braves do best: hitting home runs. They hit three of them off Jacob deGrom. All of them were solo shots—one each from Austin Riley, Matt Olsen, and Dansby Swanson—but it was enough to give them the edge in this contest.
The Mets scored first in this game, scratching out a run off Max Fried in the bottom of the second thanks in part to a rough inning in left field by Eddie Rosario. Jeff McNeil led off the inning with a bloop single that dropped in front of Rosario because he lost it in the lights.
