    Austin Riley doesn't want to put too much emphasis on winning the first game of a crucial three-game series with the New York Mets.

    That being said, he sure is glad the Atlanta Braves took the opener.

    ''To get the first one is huge and just try to build as much momentum off it as possible,'' Riley said. ''To come out fighting and top to bottom did a great job. Arms did great. Just a solid win.''

    Riley and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers off Jacob deGrom in the second inning and Dansby Swanson later connected off the Mets ace as the Braves beat New York 5-2 Friday night to move into a tie for the NL East lead.
