The Mets defeated the Braves on Wednesday night to snap Atlanta's eight-game winning streak.
As the ball sailed toward the tall brick wall in right, Acuña peeled off hoping to play a carom. But it dropped between the wall and the first row of seats, setting off a wild celebration in the stands from Baty's mother, father, sister and other family members who hastily made the trip to Atlanta to witness his debut.
"For sure, that will be framed up and go on a shelf somewhere," Baty said."Hopefully there will be more." Robbie Grossman then made a game of it, launching a three-run homer that brought the Braves within a single run. It was just what the Mets needed after their last two starting pitchers lasted two innings apiece before leaving with injuries.
