NEW YORK — Spencer Schwellenbach struck out a career-best 11 over seven dominant innings of two-hit ball, and the Atlanta Braves stopped a six-game losing streak with a 4-0 victory against the New York Mets. Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers in the fourth after Mets starter Tylor Megill, just brought back from the minors, retired his first 11 batters. Orlando Arcia added an RBI single in the fifth, and Eddie Rosario went deep against Megill leading off the seventh. Atlanta moved back ahead of the Mets for second place in the NL East and the league's top wild card. The banged-up Braves halted their longest skid since a six-game slide in September 2017. They haven't dropped seven in a row since August 2016.
