ATLANTA -- The New York Mets padded their National League East lead while adding to the Atlanta Braves' woes Saturday night.

Center fielder Yoenis Cespedes hit his seventh homer in the past 10 games and added an RBI fielder's choice in a tiebreaking ninth inning as the Mets won 6-4 to hand the Braves their 11th straight home loss.

Pinch-hitter Adonis Garcia hit a tying three-run homer off reliever Tyler Clippard in eighth inning to cost Noah Syndergaard a victory, but the Mets came back in the ninth for their sixth straight win.
