The Mets got a lesson from Uncle Charlie Wednesday night.
Braves starter Charlie Morton dominated the Amazins’ lineup while receiving plenty of run support in the rubber match of a three-game series winning 7-0.
Morton tossed seven shutout innings allowing just two hits while striking out 11. Buck Showalter’s squad hardly put up a fight as the 39-year-old was on cruise control throughout the night.
While Morton was dominant, his counterpart was quite the opposite. Jose Quintana was roughed up as the MLB-best Braves broke out the lumber registering five runs on nine hits while working three walks against the southpaw.
Atlanta’s four-run sixth inning was the breaking point for Quintana as his ERA jumped up to 3.73.
Marcell Ozuna’s tormenting of the Mets continued Wednesday night. After homering three times in the first two games of this three-game set, the 32-year-old for a fourth time (and 28th of the season) off of reliever Phil Bickford. Ozuna also plated the first run of the game with an RBI groundout in the first.
The Mets will have the day off on Friday before welcoming the Angels to Flushing on Friday. Rookie sensation Kodai Senga (3.19 ERA) will take the ball against Tyler Anderson (5.50 ERA).
