Injuries sabotaged the Braves' plans for 2024, but almost all of their key pieces will be back next year.
ATLANTA — The Mets finished with four hits and mishandled four Braves batted balls. Such a ratio is rarely conducive to winning. On a night the Mets did little right, their defense was particularly poor in a disappointing and series-opening 5-1 loss to the Braves at Truist Park on Tuesday. 3 Luisangel Acuna of the Mets bobbles a force out by Ozzie Albies of the Atlanta Braves in the first inning of the Mets' 5-1 loss to the Braves at Truist Park on Sept. 24, 2024. Getty Images “We didn't play well,” Carlos Mendoza acknowledged after the Mets generously were charged with just one error. “We didn't make a play a couple times.” The Mets' problems began in the first and never really stopped.

Michael Harris II tripled, singled and scored the go-ahead run in the seventh inning and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 5-4 on Sunday. Gio Urshela and Ozzie Albies homered while Matt Olson had two hits and an RBI for the Braves (85-71), who began Sunday two games behind the New York Mets for the third NL wild card. Jorge Soler's infield single with the bases loaded against Declan Cronin (3-4) in the seventh scored Harris from third and put the Braves ahead.
