New York Mets defeated the Atlanta Braves


The New York Mets defeated the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.  The game took place at Citi Field in Flushing, New York and the final score was 3-0.  Steven Matz started for the Mets and he pitched well.  The Mets offense only managed four hits. 

Matz pitched six innings giving up two hits and no runs and walked five and struck out seven.  Matz won his 11th game of the season.  Jeurys Familia pitched an inning giving up a hit and he struck out two, Brad Brach pitched an inning giving up a hit and he struck out one and Edwin Diaz pitched a perfect inning with two strikeouts and saved his 26th game of the season. 

Mike Foltynewicz pitched four innings giving up three hits and three runs with a walk and five strikeouts and lost his sixth game of the season.  Max Fried pitched 3 2/3 innings giving up a hit and a walk with five strikeouts and Chris Martin pitched to one batter and struck him out. 

Brandon Nimmo drew a walk, Pete Alonso had a hit and an RBI and J.D. Davis drew a walk.  Amed Rosario had a hit, Todd Frazier had a hit and Rene Rivera had a hit and two RBI.  Rivera hit a homerun and Alonso hit a homerun.  The Mets were 1-1 with runners in scoring position and left one man on base.  Rosario was caught stealing. 

Ozzie Albies had a hit, Freddie Freeman had a hit and drew a walk and Nick Markakis drew a walk.  Adam Duvall had two hits, Brian McCann drew two walks and Billy Hamilton drew a walk.  Duvall hit a triple and the Braves were 0-6 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on base. 

In the third Alonso hit a three-run homerun and that was the only scoring in the game. 

Alonso set the rookie record with 53 homeruns and the Mets finished their season at 85-76 which is something to build on especially since they had such a poor first half and rallied in the second half of the season.
