ATLANTA -- Yoenis Cespedes was hitless in the series opener against the Atlanta Braves, but the center fielder earned the MVP chants from New York Mets fans on Friday night.
Cespedes was 3-for-5 with three RBIs, and his mammoth two-run homer in the ninth inning capped a 5-1 victory that gave the Mets an 8 1/2-game lead in the National League East with 21 games to play.
