Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets.

The Atlanta Braves got a strong performance from pitcher Phil Niekro, who stymied the New York offense en route to a win, 5-2, at Citi Field. Atlanta now sits at 51-41, while New York falls to 52-40.

The tide might have turned with two out in the bottom of the eighth, had not John Smoltz made a big pitch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and the Mets trailing 5-2, he retired David Wright, who grounded out.
