Mets Defeated Braves 3-1 at Citi Field Saturday - Mets Now at 9-9 on Season

The New York Mets have been on a tear of late and won again yesterday 3-1 over the Atlanta Braves in a Saturday day game at Citi Field. Jon Niese pitched well enough to win but got the no decision leaving the game in the 6th inning, giving up 1 earned run, 5 hits, with 5 walks and 6 strikeouts in 5.1 innings. Niese threw over 100 pitches in his start. Manny Acosta pitched 1.2 innings and earned the win. Fernando Nieve and Pedro Feliciano pitched a scoreless 8th and Francisco Rodriguez earned his 3rd save of the season with a scoreless 9th. The win brings the Mets record of 9-9 and playing very good baseball. The Braves left 11 men on base. Jason Bay led the way going 3-for-4 with 2 singles, 1 double with an RBI. It was nice seeing a large crowd of 36,547 attend the game at Citi Field.
