Travis Taijeron singled home the winning run with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning and the Mets rallied late to beat the Atlanta Braves, 4-3, at Citi Field.
The Mets were stymied by the 42-year-old knuckleballer R. A. Dickey much of the night and trailed, 3-0, in the seventh before he surrendered a two-run homer to Kevin Plawecki. Asdrubal Cabrera tied the score with a sacrifice fly in the eighth.
A.J . Minter (0-1) allowed a leadoff single in the ninth to Plawecki, who was replaced by pinch-runner Juan Lagares. Dominic Smith walked but Minter struck out Amed Rosario, who failed to bunt the runners over.
