The New York Mets topped the Atlanta Braves, 8-6, at Turner Field 1997-2016. New York first baseman David Wright was a spark plug for the offense. He slugged 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice. The first-place Braves have lost 4 consecutive games.

New York used the hitting of Nelson Cruz to pick up the win. The right fielder clubbed a 2-run single in the top of the tenth inning to put the Mets on top, 8-6. For the game, Cruz had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We just battled, never quit, and continued to grind out at-bats trying to create some opportunities," said New York manager Ethan Smith.
