Final Score: Mets 2, Braves 1-He’s out! He’s out! Share this story Photo by Adam Hunger/Getty Images The Mets barely defeated the Braves 2-1 with the help of a spectacular play in the ninth. Edwin Diaz gave up a leadoff double in the inning, and then on a base hit Michael Conforto came up firing to home where James McCann put down a fabulous tag to preserve the slim lead. Then with two outs Diaz got Pablo Sandoval to fly out to nail down the save. Tylor Megill got the start on his birthday and was excellent once again. He pitched into the sixth inning and his only blemish was an Austin Ri...

Final score: Mets 1, Braves 0—No starting pitching, no problem Share this story Photo by Adam Hunger/Getty Images Despite the fact that they didn’t have a starting pitcher for the nightcap of their doubleheader against the Braves, the Mets won the second game 1-0 thanks to the work of the six relief pitchers who shut out Atlanta.

Matz had a strong showing in his first start back in Queens, the only damage against him in his 5 2⁄ 3 innings of work coming on a Pete Alonso two-run homer in the first inning. But Tylor Megill was even better, tossing six shutout innings against the potent Blue Jays offense, giving up just two hits and striking out five batters. Megill needed just 78 pitches to notch the quality start and ...
