Charlie Morton, Marcell Ozuna power Braves to win over the Mets

In the rubber game between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets, two veteran arms took the mound in Charlie Morton and Jose Quintana. After dropping the opening game of the series, the Braves looked to take yet another series against the Mets.

After a dominant start against the Yankees, where he went six shutout innings while striking out 10, he one upped himself against the Mets, going seven scoreless with 11 punch outs. In those two starts, his command has been the best it has been all season.

The Braves got things started, as they have so many times this season in the first inning.
