PublishedNEW YORK — Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a titanic home run, just before Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson also went deep in the third inning, and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 4-2 on Friday night.
Francisco Lindor homered on Morton's first pitch in the seventh, one of only three hits off the 40-year-old right-hander. He struck out seven and walked one in his fourth consecutive quality start, surpassing 2,000 innings in the majors. Right after a double play that left the bases empty in the third, Acuña drove a full-count sinker 461 feet to the back of the black batter's eye incline in straightaway center, beyond the home run apple at Citi Field.
Quintana then walked Austin Riley before a slumping Olson sent a two-run shot to right-center for his fourth home run of the season and first since April 7 against Arizona. The 26-game drought was the longest of his career.Braves: RHP Pierce Johnson was set to throw off a mound. “Just feel and touch a little bit," manager Brian Snitker said. “Everything's trending good with him.”
