Freddie Freeman and Adonis Garcia homered, Bud Norris threw seven scoreless innings and the Atlanta Braves beat Bartolo Colon and the New York Mets 5-2 on Sunday.
Freeman had three hits and a walk, helping Atlanta salvage a split of the four-game series.
Brandon Nimmo, one of New York's top prospects, made his major league debut and went 0 for 4 with a game-ending strikeout. The outfielder was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Saturday.
The Mets began the day two games behind NL East-leading Washington. They open a series at the Nationals on Monday night.
New York rallied in the ninth. Matt Reynolds hit a leadoff double against Alexi Ogando and scored on Yoenis Cespedes' groundout. Neil Walker doubled before Garcia made an over-the-shoulder catch of James Loney's popup in foul territory.
Wilmer Flores' run-scoring single knocked Ogando out of the game. But Arodys Vizcaino struck out Nimmo for his 10th save.
Colon (6-4) allowed one run and six hits in seven innings. He had been 5-0 in his last six starts against the Braves, including a 4-1 win on May 2 in New York.
