NEW YORK (AP) Matt Olson homered in consecutive games for the first time this season, and the Atlanta Braves overcame in a 9-2 rout against the New York Mets on Sunday. Austin Riley, Orlando Arcia and Ramn Laureano also went deep for the Braves, who salvaged a four-game split after losing the first two games of the series. They hold the top National League wild card and moved 1 1/2 games ahead of New York for second place in the NL East. Thats a good win for our team, manager Brian Snitker said. Its encouraging. Maybe were breathing some life into that offense. Lpez pitched three shutout innings, lowering his major league-leading ERA to 2.06, before exiting with right forearm tightne s. He is day-to-day and headed back to Atlanta for an MRI. The Braves already have a string of star players on the injured list. Right now, its forearm tightne s and we took him out as a precaution, Snitker said. Im glad he said something because you just dont know about those things. Pete Alonso hit a two-run homer and Tyrone Taylor doubled twice for New York. Hours before the game, He received a nice ovation from the Citi Field crowd before striking out as a pinch hitter in the eighth. Olson threw his bat and helmet in frustration after striking out against David Peterson (5-1) in the first. But then Olson launched a three-run homer 426 feet into the upper deck in right field to give Atlanta a 3-0 lead in the fourth. It was Olson's fourth home run off the New York left-hander in 15 at-bats. Still just going to be working to have consistent at-bats every time, but seeing results is good," Olson said. Arcia drew a bases-loaded walk later in the inning. He hit a solo homer in Adam Duvall Jersey the seventh and Riley added a two-run shot off Ryne Stanek, who was making his Mets debut after being acquired Friday evening in a trade with Seattle. Laureano's two-run drive in the eighth made it 9-0. It was good to see the offense do some damage, Riley said. Dylan Lee (3-2) relieved Lpez at the start of the fourth and fired two scorele s innings. New York had six hits, including four doubles, through the first five innings but was unable to score, going 1 for 9 with runners in scoring position. The Mets threatened in the fifth after a leadoff double by Taylor, but he was thrown out at the plate by Laureano on Ben Gamels single to center field. Thats a good pitching staff, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. We created traffic today, especially in the first three innings, but couldnt get that big hit.
