Pérez pitches 6 more scoreless innings, Albies and Olson homer for Braves in 4-0 win over Mets

Martín Pérez continued his impressive streak by pitching six more scoreless innings, allowing the Atlanta Braves to secure a 4-0 victory over the New York Mets on Tuesday night. Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson contributed significantly to the win with a homer each. Pérez extended his scoreless streak to 18 innings, which ranks third among active starting pitchers in the majors.

The Braves' rotation has been bolstered by Pérez's presence since being brought in as a non-roster addition for spring training. In a game marked by defensive excellence, the Braves' defense shined in the second inning with a diving stop by Jim Jarvis on a hard grounder, resulting in a crucial out. Despite the Mets' efforts, they were unable to mount a comeback, allowing Pérez to secure his third consecutive scoreless outing.
