Luis Torrens delivers 2-run double in 10th inning as Mets beat Braves 7-6 to
split 4-game series
ATLANTA (AP) --- Luis Torrens doubled in two runs with two outs in the 10th
inning and the last-place New York Mets beat the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves
7-6 on Monday night to split the four-game series.
Torrens' double to left field drove in Bo Bichette, who opened the inning on
second base as the designated runner, and Jared Young, for a 7-5 lead. Young
was hit by a pitch by Braves rookie right-hander Owen Murphy (0-1) in his major
league debut. Murphy, 22, was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett before the game.
Matt Olson hit two homers for Atlanta, including a game-tying two-run shot in
the ninth.
Mets right-hander Luke Weaver gave up a run-scoring double to Michael Harris II
in the 10th, but earned his first save.
Juan Soto hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Braves All-Star closer Raisel
Iglesias with two outs in the ninth to give New York a 5-3 lead.
Mets closer Devin Williams blew the lead without recording an out. Ozzie Albies
doubled to lead off the ninth and scored on Olson's opposite-field homer to
left field to tie the game. Brooks Raley (3-3) recorded the final out in the
ninth.
Carson Benge had two hits, including a homer, for New York.
Reynaldo Lpez gave up one run in five innings for Atlanta. Mets right-hander
Freddy Peralta allowed three runs, one earned, in 4 2/3 innings.
