The Flushing Nine welcomed the Atlanta Braves to Citi Field Friday evening for Game One of a weekend series.
Bartolo Colon climbed the mound, and was opposed by Atlanta’s Alex Wood.
The Mets rode a 2nd inning home run by Wilmer Flores until the 4th inning, when John Mayberry Jr.’s 2-run clout gave the Mets a 3-0 lead.
The Braves closed the gap with 4 hits and 2 runs off Colon in the top of the 5th, with pitcher Alex Wood picking up an RBI.
