Mike Puma NY Post: Steven Matz still missing a playoff necessity, but Mets roll. "With a major assist from the bullpen and Yoenis Cespedes’ bat, the Mets beat the Braves 5-1 at Turner Field on a night Matz never found a rhythm. Cespedes iced it with a monstrous two-run homer in the ninth...In his second start back with the Mets after a nearly two month absence, Matz (3-0) lasted five innings and allowed one earned run on six hits with two walks and two strikeouts."
4 different bullpen arms threw 4 scoreless innings to secure the win - Erik Goeddel, Addison Reed, Tyler Clippard, and Jeurys Familia. Mets win their 5th straight and stretch their lead to 8 and a half games over the Nationals who lost 2-1 to Miami.
