Brandon Nimmo hit a walk-off two-run homer in the ninth inning to lift the New York Mets over the Atlanta Braves.
The Atlanta Braves are SO back. After a disastrous 1-5 West Coast road trip, Atlanta swept the Boston Red Sox thanks to phenomenal pitching performances from Reynaldo López and Chris Sale and offensive support from designated hitter Marcell Ozuna, who now leads all of baseball in both home runs (12) and RBIs (38) after hitting two longballs on Wednesday. The Braves are looking to keep the winning streak going on the road in tonight's series opener as they send Charlie Morton to the mound to face off with the division rival New York Mets and tonight's starter Jose Quintana.
The Atlanta Braves slugger knows, better than most, how fleeting the good times can be. “You have to be at the same level,” Ozuna said, “so you don't get comfortable.” It seemed just a matter of time before he was sent packing by the Braves. The burly DH nicknamed “Big Bear” also awoke Thursday leading the big leagues with 38 RBIs — five more than anyone else — and ranked second to Ohtani in both slugging percentage (.646) and OPS (1.042).
