NEW YORK -- Freddie Freeman continued his road mastery of the New York Mets Monday night, when the Atlanta Braves first baseman collected four hits -- including a homer -- and three RBIs to lead the Braves to a 7-3 win at Citi Field.
Rookie right-hander Aaron Blair earned his first major league victory with six solid innings for the Braves (59-91), who have won three straight to improve to 9-8 this month. Atlanta, which has not had a winning month all season, needs to win at least four of the final 12 games to avoid the franchise's first 100-loss campaign since 1988.
