Jeff McNeil’s two-run single highlighted a five-run rally in the eighth inning and helped the Mets end their seven-game losing streak with an 8-5 win against the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.
The rally began when Todd Frazier crushed a solo homer, his 11th of the season, off Sean Newcomb to cut the deficit to 5-4. McNeil, who had three hits, put the Mets ahead with a line-drive single off A. J. Minter that fell just in front of right fielder Nick Markakis. Pete Alonso completed the outburst with a two-run double to left.
The comeback allowed the Mets to salvage the finale of a three-game series at Citi Field and win for the first time since June 22.
