Mets Walkoff Braves in Series Finale to Prevent Atlanta Sweep

Mets Walkoff Braves in Series Finale to Prevent Atlanta Sweep

The Atlanta Braves dropped a close battle with the New York Mets, 4-3, to miss out on a sweep of the road series in Citi Field. Atlanta's designated hitter went two for three in this one, twice singling back up the middle and driving in a runner from 2nd base. The two RBIs brought Ozuna's league-leading total to 40 - seven more than the next closest hitter, Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Teoscar Hernández, who put up his 33 in five more games than Ozuna. More notably, Ozuna's 40 RBIs in his 37 games stand as the fastest Braves player to reach 40 RBIs in a season since Henry Aaron in 1970, who did it in 34 games.
