In the top of the 10th, Laureano was the zombie runner at second base for the Braves. He was sacrificed to third and then the Braves appeared to try a suicide squeeze. Except the batter did not offer at a pitch way outside and Laureano was hung out to dry.
The Mets had two runners on and two outs in their half of the 10th when Jeff McNeil lofted a ball to right field. Laureano had to run a long way for the ball and somehow overran it completely. The ball fell safely to the ground and the winning run scored.
Francisco Lindor put the Mets ahead, 2-1, with a two-run homer in the third inning. But that was all the offense the Mets could muster thru nine innings.
Luis Severino gave up a walk and two singles to start the sixth inning, with the second single driving in the tying run. Severino was replaced by Jose Butto, who retired all nine batters he faced and struck out four of them.
