For the fourth time in seven nights, the defending National League champions played a baseball game against the worst club, in terms of record and talent, in that league. For the fourth time in seven nights, it was very difficult to tell which team was which.
This time around in Atlanta, the Braves topped the New York Mets 4-3 thanks in large part to an eighth-inning two-run home run from Adonis Garcia off Addison Reed. Before that long ball, things looked just about okay for the Mets. Matt Harvey had pitched well enough—six innings, two runs, three strikeouts.
