NEW YORK — Atlanta Braves right-hander Charlie Morton kept handing out free passes Friday night.

The New York Mets were happy to take the trips, but they couldn’t seem to figure out how to get home.

Eddie Rosario drove in three runs and Morton was the winning pitcher despite issuing seven walks — his most in 345 career starts in the majors — over five-plus innings as the Braves beat the Mets 7-0 on Friday night.

“The guys put up a lot of runs, even though they had to do a lot of standing around out there,” Morton said.

Austin Riley finished a triple shy of the cycle and had two RBIs for the Braves, whose 73-41 record is the best in Major League Baseball this season. They’re also 6-1 this year against the Mets and need one more win to clinch the season series between the National League East Division rivals for the sixth straight season. Atlanta is 57-36 versus New York since 2018.
