NEW YORK — At the start of the fifth inning, the Braves didn’t even have a hit. By the end of it, they hadn’t scored in their past 18 innings dating to Tuesday’s doubleheader and seemed in danger of a disappointing flight home.
It took about 20 minutes for the Braves to remind everyone who they are and what they can do.
The Braves (12-15) exploded for seven runs in the sixth inning – their best offensive inning of the young season – and beat the Mets 9-2 to split the four-game series. With this victory, the Braves went 3-4 on their trip to Texas and New York.
