Holy Toledo, the Mets beat the Braves! Matz was doing well through the first four innings but fell apart in the 5th and allowed 6 runs. At that point, the Mets had a large lead and leaving Matz in was questionable but the end result was the Mets won and Matz still has elbow tightness. Tonight Jacob deGrom makes the start for the Mets as he goes against Julio Teheran.
