Luis Torrens Delivers 2-Run Double in 10th Inning as Mets Beat Braves 7-6 to Split 4-Game Series
Luis Torrens drove in the go-ahead runs in the 10th as the Mets erased a blown save and split the four-game series.
On Monday night, Luis Torrens doubled in two runs in the 10th inning as the New York Mets defeated the Atlanta Braves 7-6 at Truist Park, splitting their four-game series.
A wild ninth inning saw Juan Soto hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Raisel Iglesias, snapping his 35-save streak, but Matt Olson immediately answered with a game-tying, two-run home run off Devin Williams to force extra innings.
Carson Benge hit a solo home run for New York in the second, but Olson drove a solo shot in the third to help Atlanta build a 3-2 lead as the Mets left seven runners on base through eight innings.
Torrens' decisive double in the 10th inning drove in Bo Bichette and Jared Young, providing the winning margin before Luke Weaver allowed an RBI double to Michael Harris II and secured his first save.
The Mets moved to 38-53 on the season with the victory, snapping a five-series losing streak, and now open a three-game home series against the Kansas City Royals on Tuesday.
