ATLANTA (AP) — Charlie Morton was dominant on the mound, Matt Olson and Robbie Grossman went deep, and the Atlanta Braves won their eighth straight game with a 5-0 blanking of the NL East-leading New York Mets on Tuesday night.
After dropping four of five in New York less than two weeks ago, the Braves haven't lost since. They made it two in a row over the Mets at Truist Park, pulling within 3 1/2 games of the division leaders.
New York has been outscored 18-1 at the midway point of the four-game series.
