 The New York Mets were defeated by the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday.  The game took place at Citi

Field in Flushing, New York and the final score was 9-2.  Tylor Megill started for the Mets and he was 

ok.  The bullpen was not good and Starling Marte led the team with two hits.

Megill lost his first game of the season.  Adam Ottavino gave up two hits and three runs with a walk and

he didn’t record an out and Trevor Williams pitched 3 2/3 innings giving up three hits and three runs with

a walk and six strikeouts.  


Ian Anderson started for the Braves and he pitched 5 1/3 innings giving up five hits and a run with four

walks and a strikeout.  Collin McHugh pitched 1 2/3 innings giving up two hits and he struck out two,

A.J. Minter pitched a perfect inning with a strikeout and Darren O’Day pitched an inning giving up a

hit and a run with a walk and two strikeouts.

Pete Alonso had a hit, Eduardo Escobar had a hit, an RBI and drew a walk and J.D. Davis had a hit and 

drew a walk, Luis Guillorme had a hit and an RBI and James McCann had a hit.  Alonso and Escobar each

left nine men on base.  Lindor committed an error.  


Ronald Acura Jr. had a hit and an RBI, Matt Olson had an RBI and drew a walk and Austin Riley had

a hit.  Marcell Ozuna had a hit, Ozzie Albies had a hit and Travis d’Arnaud had an RBI and drew a

A wild pitch pushed the lead to 4-0 and Swanson hit an RBI single making it 5-0.  Acuna Jr. hit an
