ATLANTA -- DJ Stewart hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to give New York the lead, Brandon Nimmo drove in five runs with four hits, including two homers, and the Mets held on to beat the Atlanta Braves 8-7 on Monday night.
The Mets, who have won four of five, snapped Atlanta's three-game winning streak on the night Atlanta celebrated the 50-year anniversary of Hank Aaron's record-breaking 715th homer.
Nimmo began the night hitting .103 with no homers.
"It feels good for some of those to fall where they can't catch them," Nimmo said.
