On a stormy Saturday, the Atlanta Braves defeated the New York Mets by a score of 11-3. Atlanta pitcher Kris Medlen played a key role in extending the team's impressive scoreless streak to thirty-one consecutive innings, representing their best such performance in more than twenty years. Contributing significantly to the offensive output was Brian McCann, who, despite being in a recent slump, collected four hits and drove in four runs for the winning side.
