Mets Edge Braves 3-2 in Game One of DoubleheaderNEW YORK (AP) — Carson Benge hit a tie-breaking RBI double in the seventh inning Wednesday, lifting the New York Mets to a 3-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves in the opener of a doubleheader.
Ewing (sacrifice fly) had RBIs in the sixth for the Mets, who won their third straight game — their longest winning streak since a four-game run from May 27-31.
It was the second two-steal game of the season for Ewing, who is the first Mets rookie with multiple two-steal games since Darryl Strawberry in 1983.
Pinch-runner Jorge Mateo stole second with two outs, after which Williams struck out Austin Riley.
