Francisco Lindor, Eduardo Escobar and Mark Canha homered and the Mets defeated the Braves 7-3 on Wednesday in the rubber game of their series. New York leaves Atlanta up 2 1/2 games in the NL East. LGM
Atlanta's Charlie Morton gave up five runs on six hits, including three homers, and three walks in five-plus innings. The three homers allowed matched his career high.
New York pushed the lead to 4-0 in the third on Lindor's three-run homer, his 16th, also to right field. Lindor's blast followed Morton's walk to Tomás Nido and a single by Brandon Nimmo.The Braves had baserunners in each of Bassitt's six innings, but the right-hander had answers for every challenge in the first five. The Braves had runners on second and third with two outs in the fourth, but Adam Duvall's grounder to Lindor at shortstop ended the threat.
Robinson Canó, making his second start at second base since he was acquired by Atlanta for $1 in a minor league deal with San Diego, had one hit, a seventh-inning single.
