Luis Torrens hit a tiebreaking two-out double in the 10th inning and the visiting New York Mets hung on to defeat the Atlanta Braves 7-6 on Monday and earn a split of their four-game series.
Torrens came through against Owen Murphy (0-1), who was making his major league debut, stroking a double just out of the reach of left fielder Jorge Mateo.
New York’s Brooks Raley (3-3) got the final out of the ninth. In the 10th, Luke Weaver allowed an RBI double to Michael Harris II and walked Matt Olson intentionally and Mateo unintentionally to load the bases, then induced Mauricio Dubon to hit into a fielder’s choice and end the game with his first save.
In a wild ninth, Juan Soto hit a three-run homer with two outs to give the Mets a 5-3 lead, but Olson clubbed a two-run shot — his second homer of the game and 24th of the season — in the bottom of the frame to tie the game 5-5 and force extra innings.

Garrett Mitchell also went 2-for-3 with a run as the Brewers scratched out eight hits to get their sixth win in eight games. Shane Drohan (4-2) pitched six innings, allowing three runs (one earned).
Jose Fermin went 2-for-3 with a run-scoring single capping the Cardinals’ two-run third. Dustin May tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings, but his replacement, Justin Bruihl, sprained his right ankle. Ryan Fernandez (1-2) yielded three runs (two earned) without recording an out.
