The Braves just managed to hold off the Mets today as New York scored three in the bottom of the ninth to give the Braves a one-run win, 7-6. One of those Braves runs came on a Mark Teixeira home run, his fourth since joining the team. So far, six of his ten hits with the Braves went for extra bases, and he's slugging .686 in his eight games with Atlanta. The Braves gain a game on the Mets over the three game series and are now just 3 1/2 out of first place.
