Mets Get Four Runs in the 7th Inning to Rally Past Atlanta 4-3

ATLANTA (AP) – James McCann hit a tying three-run homer off Charlie Morton in the four-run seventh inning, Francisco Lindor followed four batters later by singling in the go-ahead run off A.J. Minter, and the New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 4-3. Morton had pitched 20 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings before McCann took him deep into the seats in left-center with no outs to make it 3-all. Minter entered and gave up a one-out double to pinch-hitter José Peraza and a two-out single by Lindor to put the Mets up 4-3. Ozzie Albies hit a three-run homer off New York starter Tylor Megill for the three-time defending NL East champion Braves, who fell 5½ games back in the division.
