Morning Briefing: Mets Begin Final Regular-Season Series

Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

Good morning, Mets fans!

The Mets were swept out of Atlanta, dropping the series finale to the Braves by a score of 5-3. New York jumped out to a 3-1 lead, but a three-run rally in the bottom of the third inning by the Braves turned the tide and the Mets’ offense couldn’t get anything else going. The Braves can now clinch the NL East with their next win or the Mets’ next loss.

The Mets now get set to begin their final regular-season series of the year against the Nationals at Citi Field.
