Braves Come Up Short at New York, 5-4
The New York Mets weathered an outstanding game by Atlanta designated hitter Kevin Howard to topple the Braves, 5-4. Howard was 2 for 3 with a double and 2 walks, while scoring 2. The winner was Robbie Beerbower in relief. His record improves to 8-3. Brendan Graham took the loss. Chris Thurner was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 9 of 10 save opportunities.

The Mets beat the Braves in part due to timely hitting. Case in point: the two-out double Drtian Thaqi produced in the bottom of the seventh. Batting against Graham, Thaqi gave his team a 5-3 lead when he hit a 2-run double.

"It was our day today," Thaqi told the New York Bulletin. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."

With the win, New York goes to 44-43, while the Braves fall to 51-39.
