deGrom uses bat, arm effectively against Braves

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Jacob deGrom extended his Spring Training success and Bud Norris bounced back from a pair of rough outings, as the Braves and Mets played to a 3-3 tie in 10 innings at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex on Saturday afternoon.

A.J. Pierzynski opened Atlanta's half of the eighth with a single off Hansel Robles and took second base when Travis Taijeron bobbled the ball in right field. Pierzynski was replaced by pinch-runner Emilio Bonifacio, who advanced to third base on Robles' errant pickoff attempt and scored on Jace Peterson's go-ahead sacrifice fly.
