ATLANTA (AP) – Luis Guillorme broke a seventh-inning tie with a two-run single and Amed Rosario had three RBIs to help the New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves 8-5 early Tuesday to split a day-night doubleheader that was delayed more than 3 1/2 hours by rain.

The victory snapped a four-game skid and moved the Mets to 26-25 after they fell to .500 for the first time this season. Jeurys Familia closed out the nightcap at about 1:30 a.m.

Atlanta won the opener 4-3 on pinch-hitter Charlie Culberson’s two-run homer off Seth Lugo in the bottom of the ninth.

Rain delayed the start of the second game by 2 hours, 57 minutes.

Freddie Freeman and Kurt Suzuki each drove in two runs in the nightcap for the Braves, who are second-best in the NL at 31-22 but just a half-game ahead of Washington in the NL East.
