NEW YORK (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a titanic home run, just before Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson also went deep in the third inning, and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 4-2 on Friday night.

Charlie Morton (3-0) pitched seven splendid innings as the teams played through raindrops in a game delayed 55 minutes at the start. Atlanta won its third straight since getting swept at Dodger Stadium last weekend, with two off days in between.

“We’re not even close to hitting on all cylinders yet,” manager Brian Snitker said.

Francisco Lindor homered on Morton’s first pitch in the seventh, one of only three hits off the 40-year-old right-hander.

“He amazes me every time he goes out there,” Snitker said.

Morton struck out seven and walked one in his fourth consecutive quality start, surpassing 2,000 innings in the majors.

“That’s a lot,” Morton said. “It’s something to be proud of, and something to experience with this group here is pretty special.”
