Tough 5th inning proves costly for Braves in 7-6 loss to Mets

A six-run fifth inning was more than the Atlanta Braves could overcome in a 7-6 loss to the New York Mets Sunday night.

Atlanta’s offense got off to a quick start Sunday against Mets starter Kodai Senga. Ronald Acuna Jr. led the game off with a single and then swiped his 55th stolen base of the season. Ozzie Albies walked, but was erased on a ground out by Austin Riley that put runners at first and third for Matt Olson. Senga then walked Olson to load the bases for Marcell Ozuna. Ozuna came through with a a bases clearing double, to give Atlanta an early 3-0 lead.
