Overview
- The Braves beat the Mets 3-1 at Citi Field on Saturday after Martín Pérez allowed one run over 5 1/3 innings and earned the win.
- Eli White had a 3-for-4 game with a home run and two doubles that produced two of Atlanta’s three runs.
- Sean Manaea made his first start of the season for New York and gave the Mets six innings with two runs allowed and six strikeouts, offering a rotation option for the club.
- An Atlanta challenge overturned what looked like a Juan Soto ninth-inning homer and ruled it a double, and closer Raisel Iglesias then recorded the final outs for his 14th save.
- The win snapped Atlanta’s three-game skid and left the Mets 31-39 with ongoing offensive struggles that keep them behind in the NL East and the wild-card race.
