NEW YORK — Matt Olson hit a three-run homer and Max Fried pitched the Atlanta Braves to a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets in a game called after five innings Friday night because of rain.
Ronald Acuña Jr. had an RBI single in the fifth and Olson followed with a 433-foot drive to right-center off David Peterson for his first home run against a left-hander this season.
After the Mets were retired in the bottom half, umpires called for the tarp and the game was called following an 88-minute delay.
Fried allowed three hits and went the distance as the teams played in a steady rain at Citi Field all night.
