Braves’ Wisler allows 1 hit

NEW YORK — Matt Wisler wiped out the New York Mets with eight innings of one-hit ball and Mallex Smith hit a rare Atlanta homer off a scuffling Matt Harvey, sending the Braves to a 3-0 victory Tuesday night.

Asdrubal Cabrera’s clean single to center field with one out in the fifth was the lone hit for the defending NL champions. Wisler (1-2) walked two, struck out four and beat the Mets for the third time in his two-year career.

A.J. Pierzynski added an RBI double and the Braves, with the worst record in the majors at 7-19, won for the third time in five games following an eight-game skid.

Harvey (2-4) didn’t feel well Monday and was given fluids to help him recover Tuesday afternoon, Mets manager Terry Collins said. The right-hander pitched out of a second-inning jam but faltered in the fifth and sixth.

The speedy Smith sliced a one-out drive into the leftfield corner in the fifth and slid into third with what appeared to be a triple after the ball caromed away from Michael Conforto.

But a 50-second crew chief replay review showed the ball barely cleared the orange line on the wall near the 335-foot sign. The initial call was overturned and Smith, batting ninth behind Wisler, trotted to the plate with his first major league home run. He hit 13 homers in four minor league seasons.

It was only the sixth home run this season for the Braves, by far the fewest in the majors.

Ex-Met Kelly Johnson singled leading off the sixth and stole second. He scored on the double by Pierzynski, who later dashed home on a wild pitch.

Harvey was pulled after 100 pitches and 5 innings, and he returned to the dugout with his head down. He gave up eight hits and walked two while striking out four on a damp and dreary 53-degree night.

One pitch after Cabrera singled, Wisler erased him by getting Kevin Plawecki to ground into an inningending double play.

Arodys Vizcaino worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his third save.

The 23-year-old Wisler tossed eight sharp innings to beat Jacob deGrom and the Mets 2-1 in his big league debut last June 19.
