July 10th 2014 -- Braves 3, Mets 1

Thursday night at Citi Field ex-Met Aaron Harang had the Mets under control for 7 strong innings, the Mets drop the final game of their 4 game set with the Braves 3-1.  Bartolo Colon didn’t have his best stuff. The Braves jumped out to a 2-0 in the top of first on a RBI double by Freddie Freeman and an RBI single by Jason Heyward.  In the third, the final Braves run came in when Colon induced B.J. Upton to ground into a double play. Colon allowed 8 hits in 4 innings but recovered to go 8 innings.  The Mets scored their only run off Harang in the bottom of the third on an RBI single by David Wright bringing home Eric Young Jr.  Colon went the 8 innings allowing 10 hits all 3 runs (earned) he walked none and struck out 7.  Carlos Torres pitched the 9th inning. Colon gets the loss falling to 8-8, Harang allowed the 1 run in 7 innings and gets the win he’s now 9-6. Craig Kimbrel notched the last 4 outs for his 28th save.  The Mets take 3 of 4 from the Braves as their 4 game winning streak goes by the boards. The Mets now stand at 42-50 overall and 22-23 at home.  Next up the Mets host the Marlins for the last three games before the all-star break. Friday night Zach Wheeler (4-8 4.07) goes for the Mets. Henderson Alvarez (6-3  2.27) goes for the Marlins.
