NEW YORK – David Wright had nothing to say to his friend Freddie Freeman as the Braves’ slugger rounded the bases in the ninth inning.

The Mets’ captain wasn’t too happy with his team’s offensive production, either.

Freeman broke a ninth-inning tie with a three-run homer after driving in two as a pinch hitter in the seventh, and Atlanta stunned the Mets 6-3 Wednesday night in the finale of New York’s rough homestand.

“I didn’t even want to look at him,” Wright said about Freeman, whose five RBIs matched a career high. “I already had been disgusted with him at that point.”

Wright was caught on television having what appeared to be a testy conversation with the Braves’ first baseman after hitting a tying, two-out single off Brandon Cuniff in the bottom of the seventh. Wright, though, said the tiff was good-natured.
