Francisco Lindor hit a three-run homer, one of three long balls by New York, and the visiting Mets defeated the Atlanta Braves 10-4 on Monday in the opener of a three-game series.

Lindor's home run, his 23rd of the season, was a line drive off reliever Brad Hand in the sixth inning and gave the Mets a six-run lead. Lindor went 2-for-5 to extend his hitting streak to eight games while leading the 14-hit attack that helped the Mets win for the fifth time in six games.
