Mets take opener in Atlanta for fourth win in five games
Briefly

Brandon Nimmo's two tying home runs, five RBIs, and four hits were instrumental in securing the Mets' 8-7 victory against Atlanta, despite his recent performance slump in the season.
Mets' bullpen, without top pitchers, managed to deliver 6 1/3 innings of three-run ball to seal the win over Atlanta in a game that saw key mound moments in the eighth and ninth innings.
Drew Smith's pivotal performance, interrupted by an injury scare, and a strategic pitching rotation by manager Carlos Mendoza featuring a mix of relievers, including Teheran in his Mets debut, were crucial in overcoming Atlanta.
In a strategic pitching approach to preserve key arms like Edwin Diaz, Adam Ottavino, and Brooks Raley, Mendoza utilized various pitchers in small stints to secure the win, despite facing a depleted bullpen.
