Austin Riley's sac fly does the trick as Braves rally late to edge Mets 5-4

Austin Riley's sacrifice fly in the 10th inning proved to be the game-winner as the Atlanta Braves rallied late to edge the New York Mets 5-4 on Tuesday night.

Riley's long sacrifice fly to center field scored automatic runner Luke Williams with the winning run to give the Atlanta Braves a stunning comeback win on Tuesday.

With the victory, the Braves improved to 6-2 in extra-inning games, while the Mets dropped to 4-4 and suffered their fourth straight loss.



New York led 4-1 after five innings, but Atlanta rallied, tying the game in the eighth on Marcell Ozuna’s clutch two-out, bases-loaded double off reliever Reed Garrett. Raisel Iglesias (4-5) earned the win, and Huascar Brazoban (3-2) took the loss for the Mets.

Neither starting pitcher figured in the decision as the Atlanta Braves edged the New York Mets 5-4 in 10 innings after a rain-delayed start.

New York's David Peterson delivered seven solid innings, allowing three runs on five hits, while striking out three and walking three. Atlanta’s Spencer Schwellenbach struck out eight across seven innings but gave up four runs on six hits, including two homers.

Juan Soto opened the scoring with a 412-foot solo shot - his 14th of the season and 20th career homer against the Braves. Tyrone Taylor added a two-run double in the second and a solo homer in the fifth.
