The New York Mets started out slow again on Saturday. The offense wasn’t there and starting pitcher Steven Matz allowed a home run in the top of the second to put the team behind early. That was all he would allow though, as he threw six innings and allowed just a pair of hits.
The Mets offense finally came to life in the bottom of the fifth. Michael Conforto, Amed Rosario, and Jeff McNeil combined for two runs to put the ballclub in front.
For a while, that was the story. The Mets offense was shut down by the Braves bullpen and vice versa.
