Timely hitting, stellar pitching help Mets secure series split with 4-0 win over Braves

After dropping the first two games, the Mets battled back to secure the series split with a 4-0 win over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night at Citi Field.

Here are some takeaways...

- Griffin Canning retired the first six batters he faced before allowing a leadoff single in the third -- a few batters later the righty was forced to leave with a non-contact ankle injury. Canning went down in an immense amount of pain after seemingly coming off the mound awkwardly, he stayed down for several moments before being helped off, unable to put any pressure on his leg.
