The Braves got another much-needed win versus its NL rivals the NY Mets 9-2 as the team limps around trying to stay in the playoff hunt. Matt Olson was able to hit a 3-run bomb to start the runs for the game, as the Braves need Olson to get hot now and stay on the offensive streak. The braves then on a wild pitch are able to make it 4-0 in the fourth inning.

Orlando Arcia would then blast one in the 7th inning to make it 5-0 as the Mets started falling apart. Austin Riley then would join the homerun derby and knock a 2-run shot out making it 7-0 in Queens, NY. Then Laureano would join the fun with another 2-run shot making it 9-0 as the Mets would add two before the game ended. The Braves needed the wins at the Mets to keep its head above the wild card and to also keep the Phillies in site.

Now, it’s whether the Braves can stay hot, keep getting offense from hits hitters to help the pitching which even though it has had huge health issues lately, it has held its own. Time will tell if the Braves can keep up or will fall back to the pack, AA better make some smooth moves before the deadline ends.
