Chris Sale went 8 2/3 innings just missing his first shutout since 2019, Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson hit home runs, and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 5-0.

After the 5-4 loss, Alvarez told reporters (via SNY) that he “made a mistake” calling that pitch and felt “very bad” about the decision. Garrett said he needed to execute the pitch better.

Soto said the umpire is to blame for him getting caught between bases, leading to a double play in the ninth inning of the one-run loss.

The Atlanta Braves pulled off an extra-innings win against the rival New York Mets on Tuesday, but it's going to take a whole lot more to turn the season around. The Braves have a losing record and sit in third place in the National League East as injury setbacks and struggles at the plate have plagued their season.

The Atlanta Braves are rapidly approaching a breaking point in their 2025 campaign. At 32-39, they’re not only well behind the NL East-leading Mets but also sitting seven games out of a Wild Card spot.

Marcell Ozuna delivered one of the biggest hits of the season for the Atlanta Braves, and now we wait to see if the club can capitalize on it.
