ATLANTA (AP) – Austin Riley hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly to deep center field in the 10th inning, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 5-4 comeback win over the New York Mets on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Marcell Ozuna tied the score with a three-run double in the eighth, and the Braves rebounded from a 10-1 loss at home Sunday to lowly Colorado. Atlanta has won four of five.<\/p>\n

New York, which leads the NL East, has dropped four in a row for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

Luke Williams opened the bottom of the 10th on second as the automatic runner. He scampered to third on a wild pitch from Huascar Brazob\u00e1n (3-2) when catcher Francisco Alvarez made an ill-advised throw to second with Williams hung up between bases. Brazob\u00e1n walked Matt Olson to load the bases, and Riley’s flyball allowed Williams to score easily.<\/p>\n

Raisel Iglesias (4-5) pitched a perfect inning for the win.<\/p>\n

Tyrone Taylor homered and drove in three runs, and Juan Soto also homered as the Mets built a 4-1 lead.<\/p>\n

Soto singled in the ninth off Dylan Lee but was doubled off first base after Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. caught Pete Alonzo’s drive at the right-field wall.<\/p>\n

The first pitch was delayed 56 minutes by rain.<\/p>\n

The Braves loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth with three singles off starter David Peterson and reliever Reed Garrett. Olson struck out against Garrett, and Riley hit a pop fly to shallow right field before Ozuna’s double off Garrett tied the game.<\/p>\n

According to research from the Elias Sports Bureau provided by the Braves, their 71st game of the season was the latest they’ve played their first game against a division opponent in 25 years. During the 2000 season, they played their first game against the Montreal Expos in their 76st game.<\/p>\n

Braves left-hander Chris Sale (4-4, 2.79 ERA) will face Mets right-hander Paul Blackburn (0-0, 6.75) on Wednesday night. Sale had his scheduled start Sunday against Colorado pushed back so he would be available against the Mets.<\/p>\n
