The Mets held on to win their series opener against the Braves 8-7 . Brandon Nimmo, who had three hits all season coming into play last night, collected four hits and drove in five of New York’s eight runs. DJ Stewart, who was still searching for his first hit of 2024, launched a two-run home run in the eighth to give New York the lead for good. The Mets’ top three relief pitchers were unavailable due to overuse, but a combination of Jake Diekman, Drew Smith, and Jorge López finished things off, although not before making things interesting.
