The Mets buried the Braves in a 12-7 victory in front of a sold-out crowd of 40,076 fans on Friday night at Truist Park.

The Mets beat up on Wentz (4-4), scoring six earned runs in only 3 1/3 innings, and continuing the onslaught against right-hander Erick Fedde, with six off of the right-hander. A 20-hit night for the Mets, every hitter in the starting lineup got a hit, including backup catcher Hayden Senger, who went 2-for-5 with a career-high three RBI.

The scuffling New York Mets have been in desperate need of a starter other than David Peterson to pitch deep into games.
