GDW Analysis:
ATLANTA: New York Mets went into Sunday's game with the Atlanta Braves in good shape to gain a sweep from Truist Park.
The Braves who were very much whipped by the Mets Friday and Saturday night, stayed calm by holding off their NL East rival 4 to 3.
The game was carried live on WKUL FM.
New York is 3rd in the NL Wild Card standings at 69 & 61. The Cubs went into Sunday the wild card leader at 75 & 55 while the LA Dodgers are two back of the Cubs at 73 & 57.

 With the loss, the Mets maintain a 2 game surge in front of the Reds 67 & 63.
For the Braves, they avoided being swept at home as it happened early in August when the Milwaukee Brewers got it done in three games.
New York got a 2 run homer in the 2nd and was ahead until the 6th when the Braves tied the score on Sean Murphy's single that scored Ozzie Albies and Michael Harris II.
In the 8th, Jurickson Profar got a single to center with Albies and Murphy breaking the deadlock.
Closer Rasiel Iglesias surrendered a run on 3 hits in the 9th, but was able to close down his 22nd save when the final out was recorded on a catch down the right field foul line.
The Braves have 59 wins vs. 71 losses and are 12 & 5 since August 7 when they earned 4 wins out of 5 tries in a home series vs. Miami.
Miami welcomes the Braves to their diamond with Game 1 Monday at 6:10 p.m.
Spencer Strider is out to end his difficulty in which he has thrown poorly in his last 3 starts.
The game will be on 92.1 FM.
After 3 with the Marlins, the Braves visit the Phillies for a 4 game weekend series and will play 3 at Wrigley Field against the Cubs with the opener on Labor Day evening.
