Drury’s homer, Conforto’s throw lead Mets past Braves 2-1
Pinch-hitter Brandon Drury delivered a tiebreaking homer in the seventh inning and right fielder Michael Conforto threw out a runner at the plate in the ninth to preserve the New York Mets’ 2-1 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night. The first-place Mets have maintained their five-game lead over the third-place Braves in the NL East by splitting the first four games of the five-game series. “That was like a playoff game,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said.
