NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Ronald Acuna Jr. hit a go-ahead single in the seventh inning, Ozzie Albies homered in the eighth and the NL East champion Atlanta Braves rallied past the New York Mets 7-3 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory.
Atlanta shortstop Dansby Swanson exited early with a sore left hand, and the Braves were held scoreless by Noah Syndergaard for six innings. But they jumped all over the Mets’ bullpen for seven runs in the next two innings to match their longest winning streak of the season.
Mets captain David Wright was reinstated from the 60-day disabled list before the game but did not play even though he was available off the bench.
