Whatever it is, the Mets just can’t seem to beat the Braves this season. Veteran Francisco Cerveli had 3RBIs in his Braves debut and the Braves bullpen picked up a bad start by Max Freid as the Braves improved to 10-3 against the Mets this season as well as 4-1 in the past week with a 9-5 win on Saturday (8/24) at a raucous Citi Field.
Francisco Cerveli made his presence known early in this one, as he drove home 2 runs with a double off of Zach Wheeler in the second to give the Braves a 2-0 lead. In the 3rd, Ozzie Albies went deep for a solo shot before Josh Donaldson socked a HR of his own to give the Braves a 4-0 lead.
But the Mets would rally, as a Joe Panik Fielders choice in the 3rd, a Juan Lagres RBI single in the 4th and a 3run record-tying bomb by Pete Alonso in the 4th gave the Mets a 5-4 lead after 4.
In the 6th, a Rafael Ortega RBI double and a Ronald Acuna RBI double in the 8th (That scored 2 runs because JD Davis forgot to throw the ball in) gave the Braves a 7-5 lead.
In the 9th, the HR struggles for Edwin Diaz continued as Freddie Freeman went deep to give the Braves an 8-5 lead who would add one more run on a Cerveli RBI double to complete a thrilling 9-5 win.
MVP: Francisco Cerveli
