Mets jump all over Braves late, 8-2

The Braves and the Mets were locked into a close game for six innings, but things unraveled as Joel de la Cruz allowed five runs to sink the Braves on Sunday afternoon.

Emilio Bonifacio and Ender Inciarte provided the early fireworks against Mets starter Matt Harvey. In the third, Bonifacio singled to reach base, was bunted to second by Matt Wisler, and scored on Inciarte’s single between first and second. Two innings later, something similar played out, as Bonifacio hit a leadoff double, moved to third on a Wisler bunt, and scored on a sacrifice fly from Inciarte to give the Braves a 2-0 lead.
