Bo Bichette's Grand Slam, Homer and 6 RBIs Lead Mets Past Braves 7-5
Bo Bichette matched a career high with six RBIs, and Spencer Strider left with right arm soreness after giving up seven runs.
On Friday, Bo Bichette hit a grand slam and a solo home run to lead the New York Mets to a 7-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves, matching a career high with six RBIs.
Rain delayed the game 76 minutes before Braves starter Spencer Strider allowed a season-high seven runs and exited the fourth inning with right arm soreness.
Bichette powered the offense with a 383-foot solo shot in the first inning and a 341-foot grand slam in the second, establishing early momentum.
Devin Williams secured his 10th save by recording the final four outs, while Cionel Perez earned the win for the Mets against the MLB-leading Atlanta Braves.
Despite the loss, the Atlanta Braves maintain baseball's best record at 45-24 and will send Braves LHP Martín Pérez to the mound Saturday against the Mets.
