Final Score: New York 4, Atlanta 3 (Game 1) New York 6, Atlanta 1 (Game 2)

Atlanta, GA (Sports Network) - The New York Mets relied on their top two pitching prospects to sweep Tuesday's day-night doubleheader against the Atlanta Braves at Turner Field.

Anthony Recker hit a two-run homer for New York, which had 14 hits. Omar Quintanilla added two RBI and Juan Lagares knocked in a run. Justin Upton drove in the lone run for the Braves, who went 0-for-12 with runners in scoring position. Atlanta starter Paul Maholm (7-6) gave up two runs on nine hits while striking out seven over seven innings.
