The Braves kept the pressure on the Mets in NL wild card race with 5-1 win on Tuesday.
ATLANTA -- Michael Harris II had three more hits, including a solo home run and an RBI double, and rookie Spencer Schwellenbach shut down the New York Mets again as the Atlanta Braves cruised to a 5-1 win Tuesday night in the opener of a pivotal three-game series.'Felt good to come out swinging and get some runs early,' Harris said. 'That's what we did tonight. Pitching was phenomenal from Schwellenbach. We just have to come out and do the same thing the next two days.
Mark Vientos hit his 26th home run for the Mets, and Jose Iglesias extended his hitting streak to 17 games.'We still have a chance to win a series here,' manager Carlos Mendoza said. 'We didn't play well. We didn't make a play a couple of times. We missed a cutoff man one time. We've got to turn the page. I know it is going to be a story because it is here in Atlanta. We've got to go out and do it.
