Homers by Acuña, Albies and Olson in 3rd lead Morton and Braves to 4-2 win over Mets

Charlie Morton pitched seven splendid innings as the teams played through raindrops in a game delayed 55 minutes at the start. Atlanta won its third straight since getting swept at Dodger Stadium last weekend, with two off days in between. Francisco Lindor homered on Morton's first pitch in the seventh, one of only three hits off the 40-year-old right-hander. A.J. Minter struck out all three batters in the eighth.
