ATLANTA Inspired by Kevin Pillar’s return to the dugout, the Mets got homers from Jonathan Villar and Tomás Nido, an unlikely hit from Tommy Hunter and strong performances by a string of relievers to beat the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, Tuesday night.
Villar hit a two-run shot in the third inning, and Nido won it for the Mets in the ninth with a tie-breaking drive into the left-field seats off struggling Braves closer Will Smith.
