Stuck in a tie game in the 11th, the Braves opened the inning with consecutive singles off Carlos Torres, moving both runners into scoring position on Jace Peterson's sacrifice bunt. That brought up Maybin, whom the Mets threw out at the plate earlier in the game. Maybin lashed a single up the middle, giving the Braves a two-run lead.
Trailing by a run in the seventh, the Mets rallied for three off Braves starter Shelby Miller to put Jacob deGrom in line for his fifth consecutive victory. But with Mets closer Jeurys Familia unavailable due to a heavy recent workload, the Braves made a comeback of their own in the ninth, tying things on a pair of runs against Hansel Robles and Alex Torres.
