The Braves swept the Mets on Sunday to take a 2-game lead in the NL East
Dansby Swanson and Matt Olson homered for the third straight game, Travis d'Arnaud hit a go-ahead two-run single in the third inning, and Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 5-3 on Sunday night to win a critical tiebreaker in their season series.
The Braves won five of the last six games in the series, outscoring the Mets 42-19 over that stretch. New York had a 10 -game lead on June 1 but now is the lower in the standings than at any point this season. Olson connected for his 33rd homer to make it 5-3 leading off the sixth, his 410-foot shot landing in the seats in right-center. Olson, in his first year with Atlanta, surpassed 100 RBIs for the second straight season.
