Torrens’ double to left field drove in Bo Bichette, who opened the inning on second base as the designated runner, and Jared Young, for a 7-5 lead. Young was hit by a pitch by Braves rookie right-hander Owen Murphy (0-1) in his major league debut. Murphy, 22, was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett before the game.

Matt Olson hit two homers for Atlanta, including a game-tying two-run shot in the ninth.

Juan Soto hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Braves All-Star closer Raisel Iglesias with two outs in the ninth to give New York a 5-3 lead.

Mets closer Devin Williams blew the lead without recording an out. Ozzie Albies doubled to lead off the ninth and scored on Olson’s opposite-field homer to left field to tie the game. Brooks Raley (3-3) recorded the final out in the ninth.

Carson Benge had two hits, including a homer, for New York.

Reynaldo López gave up one run in five innings for Atlanta. Mets right-hander Freddy Peralta allowed three runs, one earned, in 4 2/3 innings.
