ATLANTA (AP) – Matt Olson hit a three-run double, Spencer Strider struck out eight in six innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the Mets 7-1 on Thursday night to complete a series sweep that extended New York’s season-worst losing streak to six games.<\/p>\n

New York’s latest sloppy defeat, paired with Philadelphia’s 2-1 win over Miami, left the Mets and Phillies tied for first place in the NL East heading into their upcoming weekend series.<\/p>\n

Mets pitchers issued nine walks, including a career-high six in 4 2\/3 innings by starter Clay Holmes (7-4), who allowed three runs. Huascar Brazob\u00e1n walked three while giving up four runs in relief.<\/p>\n

Strider (2-5) yielded one run and five hits with one walk. Olson added another double and two walks, and scored three runs.<\/p>\n

The Braves have won three straight and seven of nine. They trail the Mets and Phillies by 10 games one week after they were 15 games out of first place.<\/p>\n

With the bases loaded and Holmes facing a 3-2 count to Drake Baldwin in the fifth, the right-hander had an issue with the PitchCom device in his cap. After a new device was delivered from the dugout, Holmes threw ball four to force in a run that gave Atlanta a 2-1 lead. Brazob\u00e1n followed with another bases-loaded walk, to Ozzie Albies.<\/p>\n

Juan Soto’s single with two outs in the first for the Mets was his 1,000th career hit at age 26.<\/p>\n

The Mets will recall right-hander Blade Tidwell from Triple-A Syracuse to make his second major league start Friday night in the opener of a three-game series at Philadelphia. Right-hander Justin Hagenman, recalled Thursday from Syracuse, was expected to start Friday or serve as a bulk reliever behind an opener, but he was needed as the Mets’ second reliever against Atlanta.<\/p>\n

The Braves are expected to call up 20-year-old rookie Didier Fuentes for his major league debut to start at Miami and provide extra rest for the regular members of the rotation.<\/p>\n
