The Mets shut down the Braves behind Bassitt, Lindor

Going into the rubber game of this Mets/Braves series, the Mets’ offense has looked less than robust. However, in the first three innings, the Mets scored four runs, all on the long ball, knocking around Charlie Morton on the way to a 7-3 win, as well as a series win.

Eduardo Escobar got the action going in the second inning with a long home run to right field to put the Mets up 1-0. In the next inning, Francisco Lindor delivered a home run in the same spot, this time with two men on base, to put the Mets up 4-0.
