Braves rally late, edge Mets on sac fly in 10th

Austin Riley's long sacrifice fly to center field scored automatic runner Luke Williams with the winning run in the 10th inning to give the Atlanta Braves a 5-4 come-from-behind win over the visiting New York Mets on Tuesday.

Atlanta improved to 6-2 in extra-inning games; New York is 4-4. The Mets have lost four in a row.

The winning pitcher was Raisel Iglesias (4-5). The losing pitcher was Huascar Brazoban (3-2).

New York led 4-1 after five innings but the Braves tied the game in the eighth on Marcell Ozuna's two-out, bases-loaded double against reliever Reed

Garrett.

Neither starter figured in the decision. New York's David Peterson worked seven strong innings but was lifted after allowing the first two batters to reach in the eighth. He was charged with three runs on five hits, three walks and three strikeouts.

Atlanta's Spencer Schwellenbach pitched seven innings and allowed four runs on six hits -- two of them home runs -- with two walks and eight strikeouts.

Schwellenbach allowed only two runs in three starts against the Mets last season, but New York tagged him for three runs in the first two innings.

Juan Soto hit a 412-foot solo homer in the first inning, his 14th. It was his 20th career homer against the Braves, the most he's struck against any opponent.

New York scored a pair of runs in the second. Jeff McNeil led off with a single and Francisco Alvarez walked. Both scored when Tyrone Taylor placed a two-out double into right field that eluded the diving effort of Ronald Acuna Jr.

Atlanta cut the lead to 3-1 in the third when Matt Olson singled home Acuna, extending his streak of reaching base to 18 consecutive games.

New York got the run back in the fifth when Taylor hit his second homer of the season, a 407-foot shot into the left field seats.

The start of the game was delayed 56 minutes because of rain in the area.
