If I told you the Braves beat the Mets on Thursday night thanks to a walk-off hit by All-Star Freddie Freeman, you wouldn’t bat an eye. But a walk-off infield single from the less-than-speedy first baseman? That sounds pretty weird.
Well, the strangest part of the game was that Jacob deGrom gave up three earned runs. The Mets came back, though, and tied the game in the top of the ninth on a Dominic Smith home run. The Braves got a rally going in the bottom of the final frame when Guillermo Heredia was able to advance to second on a swinging bunt after a throwing error by Mets pitcher Seth Lugo.
