NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Fans at Citi Field wanted an appearance from their captain, David Wright, but it never happened. What the Flushing crowd did get was a 4-1 win over the Braves in their series finale Thursday night.
The NL East champion Braves didn’t start first baseman Freddie Freeman and center fielder Ender Inciarte, and they were minus injured shortstop Dansby Swanson for the second straight game.
Jason Vargas (7-9) tossed seven shutout innings in his best start of the season for the Mets. He helped New York defeat the Braves for the second day in a row.
