Soroka, Riley lead Braves past deGrom and skidding Mets, 6-2

NEW YORK (AP) -- About 25 minutes after the game ended, New York Mets leadoff hitter Jeff McNeil was still sitting at his locker in full uniform. Just outside the clubhouse, all the lights were out on the Mets' side of the ground floor at Citi Field.

The darkness in the hallway certainly seemed appropriate.

Streaking rookie Mike Soroka outpitched Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom, and the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves got a two-run homer from fellow youngster Austin Riley in a 6-2 victory Friday night over the plummeting Mets.
