DJ Stewart's two-run homer and Brandon Nimmo's five RBIs, including two homers, led the Mets to an 8-7 victory over the Braves. The win ended Atlanta's three-game winning streak on the night of Hank Aaron's 50th-anniversary celebration of his record-breaking 715th homer.
Mets' player Nimmo, who had struggled with a .103 batting average and no homers, expressed relief and motivation after his strong performance, saying, 'It feels good for some of those to fall where they can't catch them. It felt good.'
Mets manager Carlos Mendoza highlighted the significance of Stewart's first homer of the season, stating, 'It meant a lot. He's one of those who is grinding and not getting the results.' Stewart's homer broke the tie, securing the win for the Mets.
