ATLANTA — Jacob deGrom struck out a season-high 10 in six innings and the New York Mets ended a five-game skid Monday night with a 7-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves.
But the game was overshadowed by a season-ending injury to Braves ace Mike Soroka. He went down in the third inning with a torn Achilles, a huge blow to the two-time defending NL East champions.
Robinson Canó had three RBIs before leaving the game himself. He was one of three New York infielders forced out by injuries. Wilson Ramos added a two-run homer for the Mets, who snapped Atlanta's five-game winning streak.
