NEW YORK — \u2014\u00a0Bo Bichette\u00a0hit a grand slam and a solo homer and matched a career high with six RBI, leading the\u00a0New York Mets\u00a0to a 7-5 win over the MLB-leading\u00a0Atlanta Braves\u00a0on Friday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bichette last drove in six runs in a game on Aug. 4, 2025, as a member of the\u00a0Toronto Blue Jays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bichette hit both his homers, a 383-foot solo shot in the first and a 341-foot slam to right in the second, off Braves starter\u00a0Spencer Strider\u00a0(4-2), who left with right elbow and shoulder soreness after facing one batter in the fourth inning. Manager Walt Weiss said after the game Strider will undergo imaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bichette’s seventh homer of the season came before\u00a0Juan Soto’s solo shot in the first. After his grand slam with two out in the second, Bichette lofted a run-scoring sac fly in the fourth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cionel Perez\u00a0(3-3), the first of four Mets relievers to follow\u00a0Nolan McLean, was credited with the win after allowing one run in 1 1\/3 innings. McLean allowed two runs and struck out six in four innings, but walked four and threw 93 pitches, including 42 in the second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Devin Williams\u00a0allowed Eli White\u2019s infield RBI single before getting the final four outs for his 10th save \u2014 and his first of longer than three outs since May 28, 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dominic Smith,\u00a0Mike Yastrzemski\u00a0and\u00a0Ozzie Albies\u00a0had RBI singles, and\u00a0Matt Olson\u00a0homered for the Braves, who dropped their third straight. Atlanta leads the NL East and boasts the best record in baseball at 45-24.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Strider, whose velocity dipped into the 87-88 mph range while issuing a leadoff walk to\u00a0MJ Melendez\u00a0in the fourth, allowed a season-high seven runs and struck out three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The start of the game was delayed 76 minutes due to rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
