BEST OF THE DAY
Braves 4, Mets 3
NEW YORK — Atlanta center fielder Ender Inciarte robbed Yoenis Céspedes of a game-winning homer for the final out, and the Mets were handed another costly defeat after last-place Atlanta rallied for a 4-3 victory Wednesday night.
With two runners on in the ninth, Céspedes launched a drive to deep right-center. Inciarte, holding ball at right, raced a long way to the wall and timed his jump perfectly, catching the ball just above the orange line atop the fence.
He held up his glove in excitement as Céspedes turned and walked slowly off the field.
“Tremendous catch,” New York manager Terry Collins said. “Probably the best catch I’ve ever made,” Inciarte said.
New York remained tied with St. Louis and the Giants for the two NL wild-card berths as all three teams lost Wednesday.
