The road seems to be agreeing with the Mets, who are clawing their way back into the season after a rocky two-series start at Citi Field. New York is now 4-6 and on a two-game winning streak after surviving Atlanta for an 8-7 win on Monday night.
Brandon Nimmo thrilled Mets fans with two home runs at Truist Park on Monday. First, after a 1-4 start, he tied up the game with a three run homer to deep right field in the fifth inning. Then, in the seventh, he cranked another one past the center field wall to tie it again, 5-5. DJ Stewart finally gave New York the go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth, and Nimmo, yet again, put the Mets ahead 8-5 with an RBI single.
The Braves kept the pressure on all game, however, and they’ll look to right the ship on Tuesday night. Here’s the rest of the series schedule.
