ATLANTA (AP) — Luis Torrens doubled in two runs with two outs in the 10th inning and the last-place New York Mets beat the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Monday night to split the four-game series.
Torrens’ double to left field drove in Bo Bichette, who opened the inning on second base as the designated runner, and Jared Young, for a 7-5 lead. Young was hit by a pitch by Braves rookie right-hander Owen Murphy (0-1) in his major league debut. Murphy, 22, was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett before the game.
Matt Olson hit two homers for Atlanta, including a game-tying two-run shot in the ninth.
Mets right-hander Luke Weaver gave up a run-scoring double to Michael Harris II in the 10th, but earned his first save.
Juan Soto hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Braves All-Star closer Raisel Iglesias with two outs in the ninth to give New York a 5-3 lead.
Mets closer Devin Williams blew the lead without recording an out. Ozzie Albies doubled to lead off the ninth and scored on Olson's opposite-field homer to left field to tie the game. Brooks Raley (3-3) recorded the final out in the ninth.
Carson Benge had two hits, including a homer, for New York.
