ATLANTA (AP) – The Atlanta Braves never have much margin for error.

Leaving the bases loaded in the fourth inning ruined their best chance to keep the game close in a 10-3 loss to the New York Mets on Sunday.

“That was tough, and we had two four-run innings against us,” interim manager Brian Snitker said. “That didn’t help either.”

Atlanta dropped to 23-46 at home, worst in the major leagues.

Yoenis Cespedes hit a grand slam and Seth Lugo won his fourth straight start for New York.
