NEW YORK -- Left-hander Jonathon Niese combined with three relievers on a five-hitter Monday night, when the New York Mets edged closer to the National League East title by beating the Atlanta Braves 4-0 at Citi Field.
The Mets (85-65) won for the second time in six games to increase their division lead over the Washington Nationals to 6 1/2 games and reduce their magic number to seven.
