The Braves never led in this one, as the Mets took the lead early thanks to home run from Wilmer Flores and never looked back. Despite a furious rally from Atlanta in the ninth inning, the Mets held on and eventually won the game 5-3.
Alex Wood went into tonight's contest having given up only two home runs all season. That particular stat changed tonight, and it changed in a big way. In the second inning, Wilmer Flores floated a 1-1 pitch into the Party City deck in left field for a solo shot, putting the Mets up by one.
