The Braves improved to 19-7 this month, the best record in baseball in that span. The Mets lost their sixth straight and fell to a National League-worst 9-17 in June. Soroka retired the first 10 batters he faced before Pete Alonso homered to close the Braves’ lead to 3-1. The Braves tacked on three insurance runs in the eighth when Johan Camargo laced a two-out, bases-clearing double. Alonso, Nido and Robinson Cano finished with two hits for the Mets.
