The New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 10-9 at Truist Park after a late-game scare in the ninth inning. The Mets were leading 3-2 entering the top of the ninth with runners on the corners and two outs when Juan Soto hits a go-ahead home run to right field. The Mets then carry a seven-run advantage into the ninth, but the Braves mount a rally that nearly erases it. Multiple accounts describe the Mets bullpen as shaky during the inning as the Braves close in on the lead, turning the final frame into a near comeback. The outcome ultimately remains in New York’s favor as the Mets hold on for the one-run victory. A separate theme in the reporting is that the Mets’ pitching and in-game execution are under pressure late, with a rookie pitcher, Nolan McLean, credited with recovering during the sequence that follows the Braves’ surge. Despite the tense finish, the Mets improve to 37-53, while Atlanta falls short of completing the comeback.
