ATLANTA (AP) – Johan Camargo homered with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning after the Atlanta Braves rallied from a pair of four-run deficits Tuesday night, stunning New York 7-6 and capping a miserable day for the injury-plagued Mets.
Camargo’s liner off Gerson Bautista just cleared the right-field wall, the Braves’ second walk-off homer in two days against their NL East rival.
Asdrubal Cabrera homered twice and Adrian Gonzalez also went deep for the Mets. But it wasn’t enough for a staggering team that must be feeling cursed with the way things played out over an excruciating day.
Before the game, the Mets placed Noah Syndergaard on the 10-day disabled list with a strained ligament in his right index finger. Then, in an almost surreal development, starter Steven Matz had to leave with discomfort in his left middle finger after throwing three scoreless innings while New York built a 4-0 lead.
X-rays were negative, but there was no immediate word if the problem might affect Matz’s next scheduled start.
