Mandatory Credit: Brad Penner-USA TODAY SportsThe Atlanta Braves socked four home runs against New York Mets pitching to cruise to a 9-2 victory and earn a four-game series split on Sunday afternoon at Citi Field.
The Mets scored just twice in the final two games of the series, which came on Pete Alonso’s two-run home run in the bottom of the eighth inning with the game well out of reach. Following Atlanta starter Reynaldo Lopez’s escape in the bottom of the third — he would leave his start early with forearm tightness — the Braves got to Peterson in the fourth. Austin Riley walked and Marcel Ozuna singled to lead off the frame for Olson, who smacked a hanging slider from Peterson into the second deck of the right-field seats to put the visitors up 3-0.
Taylor led off the fifth with a double and seemed destined to open the Mets’ ledger on Sunday when Ben Gamel snuck a single up the middle, but he was thrown out at home by Atlanta center fielder Ramon Laureano.
