The New York Mets defeat the Atlanta Braves 7-5 at Citi Field as Bo Bichette has a standout performance. Multiple reports say Bichette hits two home runs and drives in six runs, including a grand slam and an additional solo homer. His output matches a personal high, with one outlet noting he ties a career-high with six RBIs. The big blows come early, with Bichette’s home runs contributing to an initial Mets momentum swing, including a first-inning sequence that features back-to-back homers with Juan Soto. Atlanta’s starter Spencer Strider is pulled after Bichette’s at-bats, with one report stating Strider leaves with right arm soreness after facing only one batter in the fourth inning.
The Mets’ bullpen finishes the job. Yahoo reports that Devin Williams records a four-out save to preserve the one-possession lead. While Bichette’s season has included inconsistency, the game is presented across sources as his biggest impact against the Braves so far, with one outlet highlighting that he also reaches base on a walk and posts a multi-hit effort.
