Friday night in Atlanta, Daniel Murphy went 4 for 5 and Zach
Wheeler tossed his 21st quality start of the season, the Mets blank
the Braves 5-0. It was a nice pitching
duel between Wheeler and Julio Teheran, but Teheran blinked first when Lucas
Duda hit a line drive 2 run homer to right field off him in the 6th
to give the Mets a lead they never relinquished. For Duda it was home run # 28
he now has 85 RBI on the year. The Mets scored 3 more in the top of the 9th. Jordan Walden walked Dilson Herrera with the
bases loaded to make it 3-0. Then Eric Young Jr. singled driving in two to make
it 5-0. Wheeler went 6 innings allowing just 5 hits he walked 2 and struck out
7. He gets the win improving to 11-10.
Teheran takes the loss falling to 13-13.
Daniel Murphy had a great game going 4 for 5, he almost went 5-5 but in
the 9th he hit a seed to second base that ended the inning. Andrelton Simmons had 3 hits for the
Braves. The Mets start their final road
trip of the season with a win on the night they were mathematically eliminated
from the post season. The Mets now stand
at 74-80 overall and 36-40 on the road.
Saturday night it’s game two of the series, Jonathon Niese (8-11 3.55)
goes for the Mets, Mike Minor (6-11
4.74) goes for Atlanta.
