| The Braves hand the Mets their first postseason loss and even the series at a game apiece. Andruw Jones has the hot bat today after yesterday's failue at the plate, knocking in 3 of the Brave runs with an RBI double in the 2nd and a 2-run single with the bases loaded (coming through this time!) in the 4th. John Smoltz helps his own cause with a sac fly for the 4th Braves run of the game, also in that 4th inning, and that would prove to be the difference. The Mets get solo runs in the 6th, 7th and 8th to get within one, but Rafael Soriano retires the Mets 1-2-3 in the 9th inning for the save. After an off day the series shifts to Shea Stadium with Chris James on the mound for Atlanta and Tom Glavine taking the hill for the Mets against his former team to see who will get the upper hand in the series. |
