“#Brandon Drury, Michael Conforto save the day for Mets<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Mets\u2019 lineup is nearly back to full strength, but a member of the Bench Mob stole the spotlight back on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Brandon Drury came off the pine and delivered a pinch-hit, go-ahead home run in the seventh inning to send the Mets to a 2-1 win over the Braves at Citi Field.<\/p>\n

Michael Conforto\u2019s arm saved the game<\/a> in the ninth inning. After closer Edwin Diaz allowed a leadoff double to Abraham Almonte, pinch-hitter Ehire Adrianza cracked a one-out single to right field. Almonte raced from second to home, but Conforto threw a strike to James McCann, who slapp<\/a>ed on the tag for the second out.<\/p>\n

Diaz then got pinch-hitter Pablo Sandoval to fly out to left field to secure the win.<\/p>\n

Tylor Megill had set the stage for Drury\u2019s homer, tossing 5 \u00b9\/\u2083 strong innings of one-run baseball, and Jeurys Familia made sure it stood up by coming out of the bullpen to put out another fire in the eighth inning.<\/p>\n

With the win, the Mets (54-46) evened the series<\/a> two games apiece heading into Thursday\u2019s finale and pushed their lead atop the NL East to four games over the Phillies and five games over the Braves (50-52).<\/p>\n

Drury\u2019s winning blast off Braves starter Max Fried was just the latest addition to his red-hot week. Since being called up from Trip<\/a>le-A Syracuse on Saturday, Drury is 6-for-6 with two home runs and two doubles. He was also 3-for-3 Tuesday after double-switching into the game in the fourth inning.<\/p>\n

Overall this season with the Mets, Drury is 7-for-15 with three home runs as a pinch hitter.<\/p>\n

The Braves had tied the game at one in the sixth inning on a solo shot from Austin Riley, the lone blemish on Megill\u2019s night. Riley\u2019s third homer in two nights snapped Megill\u2019s scoreless streak at 17 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings, but the right-hander continued to impress and give the Mets some much-needed consistency.<\/p>\n

Megill, who struck out six, walked one and gave up five hits, has now allowed one or no runs in each of his last four starts. The 26-year-old lowered his ERA to 2.04 in the first seven starts of his MLB career.<\/p>\n

Seth Lugo relieved Megill and needed just three pitches to record the final two outs of the inning before Trevor May threw a scoreless seventh.<\/p>\n

Aaron Loup entered for the eighth and gave up back-to-back singles before inducing a Freddie Freeman comebacker for the first out, which moved runners to second and third.<\/p>\n

Luis Rojas then called on Familia, who once again delivered in a big spot. Familia struck out Riley on a sinker in the dirt before getting Dansby Swanson to ground out to end the threat.<\/p>\n

Jeff McNeil had given the Mets a 1-0 lead in the third inning. He extended his career-high hitting streak to 15 games with a single through the left side, which scored Megill after the pitcher started the rally with a two-out single.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
