    Derek Lowe was grateful the Braves pulled out their best power game of the young season for another series-opening win.

    Alex Gonzalez hit two of Atlanta's four solo homers and the Braves finally provided some offense for Lowe, beating the skidding New York Mets 4-2 on Saturday in the opener of a doubleheader.

    Chipper Jones and Freddie Freeman also connected for the Braves, who had six hits.

    The four homers were a season high for Atlanta and the most for the team since hitting four in a 16-5 win over the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 22, 2010.
