Jeff McNeil

McNeil came through with a clutch walk-off single to right field with two outs in the 10th inning, which probably should've been caught by Braves right fielder Ramon Laureano, who somehow overran the ball on the play. The 32-year-old has been unconscious since the All-Star break, batting .455 (10-for-22) with four homers and nine RBI in seven games.

New York Mets' Jeff McNeil hit a walk-off single to defeat the Atlanta Braves, 3-2.

The Mets pushed their winning streak to three with a 3-2 walk-off win over the Atlanta Braves in the series opener of a four-game set on Thursday night at Citi Field.

Mets manager Carlos Mendoza told reporters it's merely a routine day off for Nimmo, who has started 18 consecutive contests since July 3. The 31-year-old outfielder holds a .781 OPS with 16 homers and nine steals through 96 games. It'll be red-hot Jeff McNeil taking over in left field on Thursday night at Citi Field.

Iglesias had a day off on Thursday but will be back in the lineup with Jeff McNeil shifting back to right field, Tyrone Taylor in center field and both Dj Stewart and Harrison Bader on the bench. Iglesias has been tremendous since being called up on May 31st and is a career .281 hitter, so his solid batting average should not be treated as a fluke. If you need batting average with the chance for solid counting stats in a good lineup, Iglesias could fill that need.
