Mets and Braves split doubleheader; Scott shines despite loss

The New York Mets split a doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves on July 29, 2026, losing the second game 1-0. Christian Scott delivered a solid performance, allowing one run over six innings, but the Mets offense was unable to find a rhythm against Chris Sale and the Braves bullpen. The game was marked by a key hit from Matt Olson, whose single drove in the only run of the game. The Mets managed just two hits throughout, with Eric Wagaman providing one of the few bright spots in the lineup. The teams will meet again as the Mets take on the Marlins on July 30.
