Hamilton, Braves outlast Mets 2-1 in 14 after degrom shines

♦ Also, Atlanta’s Ronald Acuña Jr. is the second-youngest player with a 30-homer, 30-steal season.

Billy Hamilton singled home the go-ahead run in the 14th inning for his first hit as a Brave, and Atlanta beat the New York Mets 2-1 Friday night for its sixth straight win despite yet another sensational game by Jacob degrom.

The Mets tied a major league record by striking out 26 batters — including 13 by degrom — but had their five-game winning streak end.

At 21, Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. became the second-youngest player with a 30-homer, 30-steal season. Only Mike Trout did it faster than Acuña.

A speedy baserunning specialist, Hamilton was claimed by Atlanta off waivers from Kansas City last week to be a lategame contributor for the NL East leaders — although not with his bat. Hamilton entered as a pinch-runner in the 10th and stole a base but was left stranded.

Four innings later, his grounder off Jeurys Familia (4-2) was just out of reach for diving second baseman Joe Panik, allowing Tyler Flowers to score from third. The hit came in Hamilton’s fourth plate appearance since changing teams, and he added his second steal of the game a few pitches later.

Degrom homered and struck out eight straight batters during one dominant stretch, pitching seven innings of onerun ball. He finished a punchout shy of his career high — he whiffed 14 and also homered to beat Miami on April 3.

Degrom became the first pitcher since at least 1900 to strike out 13 and homer in a game twice in the same season, per the Elias Sports Bureau.

The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner got a no-decision anyway, the 18th time in his career he’s pitched one-run ball or better over seven innings and not gotten a victory. New York is just 7-5 this year when degrom allows one or fewer earned runs.

The Braves tied a major league record for strikeouts — several teams had fanned 26 times, but never Atlanta hitters or New York pitchers. The Mets’ previous high as a staff was 24, achieved June 2, 2018, against the Cubs during a 14-inning game — degrom also struck out 13 in that one.

The Braves have won nine of 12 and pulled six games ahead of Washington in the NL East.
