ATLANTA (AP) — David Wright homered, Johan Santana won for the first time in four starts and the New York Mets snapped the Atlanta Braves’ five-game winning streak with a 4-2 victory Thursday night.
The Mets, who had dropped three straight, broke a 13-game stretch in which they scored three runs or less against the NL East-leading Braves.
Tim Hudson (15-6) lost for the first time in nine starts after allowing eight hits and four runs — three earned — with one walk and four strikeouts in seven innings.
Santana (11-9) left after five innings, his shortest outing in 23 starts, throwing 65 pitches. The Mets later announced that the left-hander had a strained pectoral muscle and was listed as day-to-day.
