New York Mets defeat Atlanta Braves 10-9 in rain‑delayed game

The New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 10‑9 on Sunday in a rain‑delayed contest at Truist Park. Juan Soto’s two‑run single in the second inning gave the Mets an early lead, and Nolan McLean settled in after a shaky start to carry a six‑plus‑inning performance. The Mets built a 10‑3 advantage in the ninth, but Atlanta rallied, highlighted by Drake Baldwin’s grand slam, and threatened a comeback. Reliever Huascar Brazobán allowed five runs in the bottom of the ninth, and closer Devin Williams recorded his 13th save after striking out Dominic Smith with runners in scoring position.

The following night the Mets split the four‑game series with a 7‑6 win in ten innings. Luis Torrens delivered a two‑out double in the 10th after Juan Soto’s three‑run homer in the ninth forced extra innings. New York’s bullpen held, and the victory gave the Mets a series split despite a recent stretch in which they lost 12 of 14 games.
