This wasn’t the time for the Mets to end their impressive streak of series won or tied against division foes, but maybe they were just fortunate they weren’t swept.
It’s thrilling to watch the debut of a top prospect like Brett Baty. It’s even better to see his parents
Seth Lugo replaced Jacob deGrom with two outs in the seventh inning and allowed a ground-ball double to Michael Harris II that scored Vaughn Grissom with the go-ahead run. Grissom was running on the pitch and never stopped, beating first baseman Darin Ruf’s relay throw to the plate after Brandon Nimmo, playing deep in center field, retrieved the grounder through the hole.
DeGrom retired 12 straight before allowing an infield single off rookie third baseman Brett Baty’s glove to the final batter he faced, Grissom in the seventh. The Mets ace established season highs with 6 ²/₃ innings and 95 pitches. Overall, he allowed three earned runs on five hits with nine strikeouts, raising his ERA to 2.31.
The Braves connected with three solid hits against deGrom in the third inning to take a 2-0 lead. Dansby Swanson stroked a two-out RBI double before Austin Riley’s ensuing single brought in another run. Robbie Grossman’s single started the inning. Max Fried returned from the concussion list and allowed two earned runs on four hits with six strikeouts over seven innings. The left-hander had last pitched on Aug. 6, when he allowed four runs against the Mets at Citi Field. After that start he was diagnosed with a concussion that stemmed from hitting his head on the ground while trying to throw home. Mark Canha smacked a two-run homer in the fifth that tied it 2-2.
