ATLANTA (AP) — Adonis Garcia's tiebreaking single in the 10th inning drove in Dansby Swanson, and the Braves snapped the Mets' six-game winning streak.
Matt Kemp and Nick Markakis homered for Atlanta.
Swanson led off the 10th with a single, advanced to second on a wild pitch by Erik Goeddel (1-1) and moved to third on A.J. Pierzynski's single.
After Goeddel struck out pinch hitter Tyler Flowers, Ty Kelly replaced Curtis Granderson in the field to give the Mets five infielders and Josh Smoker retired Ender Inciarte on a popup. Kelly then moved back into the outfield, and Garcia singled up the middle to end it.
New York dropped one-half game behind St. Louis for the second NL wild card.
Chris Withrow (3-0) faced the minimum in the 10th to earn the victory.
