Brett Baty's Grand Slam, Solid Relief Pitching From Kodai Senga Lead Mets over Braves
Both clubs listed their starters for the three-game set, with Atlanta entering at 71-47 and New York at 52-67.
- On Monday, the New York Mets defeated the Atlanta Braves 8-5, with Brett Baty hitting his first career grand slam in the opening game of their three-game series. The victory marked New York's sixth win in seven games.
- Baty's grand slam came in the first inning off Bryce Elder, who had previously allowed just one run across each of his past three starts. The home run extended the Mets' lead to 5-0 early in the contest.
- Tuesday's series continues with Mets right-hander Nolan McLean facing Braves left-hander Martin Perez . The matchup sets up the second game of the three-game series at Atlanta.
- Despite the loss, the Braves maintain a strong 71-47 record in the NL East, while the Mets enter with a 52-67 standing. New York has shown offensive momentum, erupting for 11 runs and 15 hits against Pittsburgh on Sunday.
- Dimers' predictive model gives Atlanta a 55% win probability based on 10,000 simulations, though the analysis indicates the Mets have room to keep the series competitive. Recent form strengthens New York's case despite their lower overall record.
