Following a rain delay that lasted just under an hour, the Mets played a relatively lifeless game against the Braves and lost by a 4-2 score.
Jose Quintana put up zeroes in the first and second innings, but the third inning did him and the Mets in. With two outs and nobody on base, Quintana gave up four runs in the span of just four batters, serving up solo home runs to Ronald Acuña Jr. and Ozzie Albies before walking Austin Riley and giving up a two-run home run to Matt Olson. The Braves didn’t score again, but it was more than enough for them to win the series opener.
