DJ Stewart's slump-ending homer lifts Mets over Braves

DJ Stewart snapped a season-long hitless streak by delivering a tiebreaking, two-run homer in the eighth inning Monday night for the visiting New York Mets, who overcame an early four-run deficit to beat the Atlanta Braves 8-7.

The Mets have won three of four games to begin their first road trip of the season. The Braves had their three-game winning streak snapped in the opener of a four-game series.

Ozzie Albies (two-run double) and Marcell Ozuna (two-run homer) staked the Braves to a 4-0 lead in the third before Starling Marte began the Mets' comeback with a fourth-inning RBI single.
