Mets manager Terry Collins wasn't in position to see where the foul ball hit Carlos Beltran. What he could see was another of his stars falling to his knees in pain. As Collins raced onto the field, he hoped the ball missed Beltran's ankle. It did. Beltran left in the second inning with a bruise to his lower leg, one at-bat after driving in the first run in the Mets' 6-4 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Sunday night. "Anytime you get hit in the muscle it's going to be sore. It's going to be bruised, it's going to swell a little bit, but discomfort, we know it's going to dissipate in a few days," Collins said. "Whether it's two or three, I don't know." The Mets have a day off before starting a 10-game trip in Milwaukee on Tuesday, and a decision on Beltran's status will be made then.
