The New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 10-9 this afternoon at Truist Park to snap their three-game losing streak and improved their record to 37-53.

The Met offense got off to a fast start in the top of the first after SS Francisco Lindor led off and reached first on an error by 3B Austin Riley and then DH Juan Soto followed with a single, but was thrown out at second trying to stretch it to a double. 3B Bo Bichette followed with a RBI single to score Lindor.

In the top of the second, CF A.J. Ewing led off with a homer and then catcher Luis Torrens followed with a walk. 2B Brett Baty then doubled and Lindor followed with a RBI single to score Torrens. Soto followed with a two-run single to score Baty and Lindor.
