    Brandon Nimmo drove in a big run in the ninth inning to give the New York Mets a three-run cushion.

    They didn't want to give the Atlanta Braves a chance at another last-gasp rally.

    "It's just kind of scary out there when the Braves come up in the bottom of the ninth and we're only up by two runs or so, especially on this road trip," Nimmo said. "We've had some tough losses, so to be able to get that last run was really big."

    Nimmo and Adrian Gonzalez each had two RBI, Jason Vargas pitched five scoreless innings and New York beat the Braves 4-1 on Wednesday night.
