ATLANTA -- Hurry back, Jose Reyes!
Bartolo Colon showed no ill effects from a bruised right thumb, but the New York Mets continued to underwhelm offensively and lost to the Atlanta Braves, 5-2, Sunday at Turner Field.
The Mets came alive too late with a pair of ninth-inning runs against Alexi Ogando.
Freddie Freeman’s first-inning homer accounted for the only damage against Colon as the teams split the four-game series. Atlanta tacked on four runs in the eighth against Antonio Bastardo and Logan Verrett.
