Wheeler Outpitches Gausman As Mets Top Braves

NEW YORK (AP) — Kevin Gausman was outpitched in his Braves debut by a blossoming Zack Wheeler, and the New York Mets won 3-0 on Saturday night to stop Atlanta’s five-game winning streak.

Rookie second baseman Jeff McNeil went 4 for 4, and Austin Jackson had an RBI infield single as the Mets halted a four-game skid. They improved to 4-11 against Atlanta this year and won for only the 10th time in their last 34 home games.
