Mets Throttle Braves, 5-1
New York starter Rick Porcello put a stranglehold on the Atlanta offense. The right-hander had complete command of his fastball in leading the Mets to a 5-1 win. The loss has the Braves at 9-12.

The Mets got an important contribution from right fielder Michael Conforto, who in the bottom of the first hit a full count sinker into right for a 2-run home run. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the Mets ahead, 2-0.

"It's nice to come out on top today," said Conforto.
