With the Mets and Braves playing their second game of their series Saturday, here are the lineups for both sides.

Jeff McNeil and Mark Vientos each hit two of New York's six home runs to back a steady pitching performance by Clay Holmes as the Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 9-2 on Saturday night. The Mets strengthened their hold on the final National League wild-card spot with their second straight win after losing 16 of 21 entering the series.

The Atlanta Braves have acknowledged the accomplishments of a Boston-era slugger. Wally Berger was inducted into the team Hall of Fame ahead of Saturday's game against the New York Mets. During his induction, he was dubbed as “The original slugger in Braves history.”

The 2022 NL batting champ has transformed into a slugger this season. He’s homered three and driven in eight runs through five games of the Mets’ six-game trip, and he’s only played in three of them. His 11th homer of the season gave Holmes some breathing room to work with.

The long ball -- six of them, to be precise -- was all the Mets needed in Saturday’s 9-2 series-clinching win over the Braves at Truist Park. New York scored all nine of its runs via the home run and

Six homers carried the Mets’ offensive attack. Mark Vientos and Jeff McNeil each hit two, and Pete Alonso and Starling Marte delivered one apiece. Three of the Mets’ blasts were hit in the seventh inning to extend a one-run lead. The outburst gave the Mets 29 homers in their last 11 games.

The Mets beat up on Wentz (4-4), scoring six earned runs in only 3 1/3 innings, and continuing the onslaught against right-hander Erick Fedde, with six off of the right-hander. A 20-hit night for the Mets, every hitter in the starting lineup got a hit, including backup catcher Hayden Senger, who went 2-for-5 with a career-high three RBI.

Last week the Athletics claimed left-handed relief pitcher Jared Shuster off waivers from the Chicago White Sox and optioned him to Triple-A Las Vegas. The 27-year-old was originally selected by the Atlanta Braves in the first round (25th overall) in the 2020 MLB Draft.

The Atlanta Braves received an important injury update on an impactful pitcher as the 2025 MLB season winds down.
