The lead
July 5, 2026 - Atlanta - Nolan McLean earned 17 pitching FP, and the New York Mets edged the Atlanta Braves 10-9 in a one-run thriller at Truist Park, per the Associated Press recap on CBS Sports.
How the game turned
Both teams traded runs in a back-and-forth Saturday affair. New York held on for a one-run road win after Atlanta pushed across nine runs but could not complete the comeback.
Pitching and matchup notes
McLean's 17 pitching FP start gave the bullpen enough cushion in a high-scoring game. Neither staff could shut the door in a slugfest that favored the Mets' late-inning execution.
Bats that changed the board
Baldwin posted 12 hitting FP for the Mets on the AthX Engine card. AthX Engine graded New York at 14 team FP.
AthX Engine fantasy angle
