The Morning Chop, Braves Win! Yogi Berra Dies — Atlanta Braves News

Amazin’s lost rubber games to the Miami Marlins and New York Yankees in Queens.

In his first win in almosttwo months, Wisler (6-8) was charged with five hits, two runs and one walk in seven innings. “But with this team here, you’ve got to score runs”.

Don’t blame a bullpen completely that let this game also get away from them because Tyler Clippard has suddenly become ineffective.

Braves pinch hitter Adonis Garcia provided insurance by lacing a two-run double in the ninth. Johnson was billed in the preseason as a potential Heisman Trophy candidate but has thrown six interceptions in three games. Monday night it was a 4-0 win over the Braves, but there could have been more runs crossing the plate.

Tagged by David Wright’s home run with one out in the first inning and a follow-up double by Daniel Murphy, the Atlanta rookie quickly found his rhythm. Atlanta’s offense did nothing against Jon Niese despite loading the bases in the third inning.

“We had some opportunities”, said manager Fredi Gonzalez, which Braves have lost 11 of their past 15 games against the Mets, including five in a row. “Should have been very relaxed with the lead we had”. We should have been going out and playing the game nice and loosely and calm. Five days from now, we’re going to bring him back and see how he is, but I think it will make a big difference in him… “It’s just the perception it looks like from the bench”.

After sweeping series at Washington and Atlanta, the New York Mets returned to Citi Field on September14 with an 83-62 record and 9½-game division lead.

The Mets got just one runner as far as third base against Wisler between the second and seventh before he was pulled after issuing a leadoff walk to right fielder Curtis Granderson in the eighth.

Even as his New York Mets inched closer to the NL East title, manager Terry Collins wasn’t thrilled with what he saw. Additionally, Lucas Duda is in a 3-for-26 slump. “Awesome day. Couldn’t have gone any better”.

An opportunity that went the other way for the Mets. Collins has a club option for next season and Gonzalez said Mets management should take care of his counterpart now. “I feel really good and no matter what the decision would be, I’m here to pitch and that’s nothing I can control”, Colon said. That’s what we need to focus on. “But I continue to have some good luck against them”. Tonight was one of them. Asked if it meant more to get the skid-stopping win as the elder statesmen of the staff – he has made 167 starts for the Mets, 36 fewer than the rest of the starters combined – Niese offered a nervous laugh. “We have been doing that all year”.

This will be their first losing homestand of the season. Uribe was injured diving for a ball on Sunday night…. His lone career save came this year vs. the Mets. Collins said he would probably be back in the lineup Wednesday, but there is concern the catcher is slumping at the wrong time…

“I don’t sense that anybody’s tight in here or feeling the pressure”, Wright said.

All it took for the Mets to start winning again?

However, Collins is not hiding the truth.
