ATLANTA -- David Wright hit two solo homers, New Yorks bullpen pitched five-plus scoreless innings and the Mets overcame an injury to starter Jonathon Niese in a 4-3 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night. Niese left the game in the fourth with left shoulder discomfort and the Mets trailing 3-2, but the Mets bullpen shut down Atlanta for the next 5 2-3 innings. Closer Bobby Parnell earned his 11th save in 14 chances by facing the minimum in the ninth, retiring Freddie Freeman and Justin Upton on groundouts and B.J. Upton on a lineout. LaTroy Hawkins (2-0), New Yorks third pitcher, earned the victory after allowing two hits and striking out two in two innings. The Mets have won four of six, thanks in part to a bullpen thats 1-0 with a 1.55 ERA over the last nine games. Mike Minor (8-3) allowed nine hits, four runs and two walks in six-plus innings for Atlanta. The left-hander struck out six. Wright, who went 3 for 4, has 32 homers against Atlanta, his most against any opponent, including 18 at Turner Field. In his last 14 games overall, Wright is hitting .407 with four homers and eight RBIs since June 5. It was his 20th multihomer game and second this season. Atlanta used four singles in the third to go ahead 3-1. Chris Johnsons RBI single scored Freeman from second and moved Justin Upton to third. Gerald Lairds RBI single drove in Upton. Those runs came off Niese, who winced in the fourth after making a pitch to Tyler Pastornicky. Niese motioned to the dugout that he was hurt and was done for the night after manager Terry Collins visited the mound. Niese gave up eight hits and three runs with five strikeouts in 3 1-3 innings. Wright gave the Mets a 1-0 lead in the first with his 10th homer and led off the fourth with his 11th to cut Atlantas lead to 3-2. After Wrights second homer, New York loaded the bases with no out, but Minor escaped the jam on Juan Lagares flyout and Omar Quintanillas double play grounder. Andrew Browns pinch-hit homer to lead off the Mets fifth tied to score at 3-all. David Aardsma replaced Niese and pitched out of a jam with runners on first and second when Justin Upton lined out. After Hawkins faced four batters in the fifth and four in the sixth, Brandon Lyon faced the minimum in the seventh. The Mets took a 4-3 lead in the top of the seventh. Omar Quintanilla doubled on the 10th pitch he saw from Minor and scored from second when pinch-hitter Josh Satin doubled down the right-field line to chase Minor. Jordan Walden got the next six outs, facing the minimum, for Atlanta. In the eighth against Lyon, Andrelton Simmons reached with one out on Wrights fielding error and advanced to third on Pastornickys broken-bat single to right. Josh Edgin ended the threat when Jason Heyward grounded out. Luis Avilan faced the minimum for Atlanta in the ninth.

Says a lot about how theyre playing these days. Xavier Paul singled home a pair of runs in the first inning, and Cincinnati completed a two-game home sweep of the Cleveland Indians with an 8-2 victory on Tuesday night that was free of any up-and-in acrimony. The intrastate rivals headed to Cleveland for two more games. The Indians lead the all-time series 42-41. The Reds have won 14 of their past 17 games overall, leaving them with the second-best record in the majors at 33-19. They trail NL Central-leading St. Louis. "As a team, were feeling great," Paul said. "Were pitching real well and hitting real well, and weve finally started to win some games on the road, which is great." Cleveland has dropped five straight -- matching its season high -- and seven of eight. Mat Latos (5-0) handled a slumping lineup, allowing one run in 6 1-3 innings. The Indians have been outscored 33-14 during their losing streak. "The last two starts, everything has felt good," Latos said. "My mechanics have been in sync with my arm feeling great. I had some good stuff against a good-hitting lineup." The Reds had 18 hits, one shy of their season high, but stranded 12 runners. Cincinnati repeatedly wasted chances before pulling away in the seventh. "We had a lot of opportunities," manager Dusty Baker said. "I didnt like the way the game was going. We were leaving them out there." Pauls two-run single put the Reds ahead 3-0 in the first against Zach McAllister (4-4). The Reds added four in the seventh against Clevelands struggling bullpen, with Derrick Robinson and Zack Cozart contributing RBI singles. Clevelands slump is in some ways reminiscent of last season. The Indians were playing well at midseason then, but won only five games in August to fall flat. Is this starting to feel familiar? "No, not at all," said McAllister, who gave up three runs in 5 1-3 innings. "Its a completely different team than last year, a completely different attitude. Its an exciting team." TThere was one lingering issue from Cincinnatis 4-2 win in the series opener: Would the Indians retaliate for Aroldis Chapmans inside pitches? The Reds closer threw two of them up-and-in to Nick Swisher while closing out the game on Monday, resulting in stares.dddddddddddd Cincinnatis Brandon Phillips and Shin-Soo Choo were hit on Tuesday, but went to first without complaint or warning from plate umpire Chad Fairchild. The series matching teams from Ohios north and south has taken on an edge for the second straight year. Last year, Indians starter Derek Lowe got hit by a Latos pitch and gestured toward Baker. Baker acknowledged that he had Latos pitch inside because Lowe had hit Joey Votto in a game three years earlier. Choo, who came from Cleveland as part of the off-season trade for Drew Stubbs, homered in the series opener and had another solid all-around game on Tuesday. He ran down two fly balls on the warning track and opened the Reds first inning with a double. Cozart followed Choos double with a bunt single, and Votto singled home a run. Pauls single made it 3-0, matching the most earned runs that McAllister has allowed in a game this season. Stubbs singled with one out in the fifth -- only Clevelands second hit -- and stole second. Michael Bourn singled off Vottos glove at first base, cutting the lead to 3-1. The Reds failed to score despite getting at least two runners aboard in the third, fourth, fifth and sixth innings before breaking it open by sending nine batters to the plate in the seventh. NOTES: Indians closer Chris Perez, who went on the 15-day DL before the start of the series, had an MRI that found mild tendinitis. He wont throw for at least five days. ... SS Asdrubal Cabrera had his seven-game hitting streak snapped. ... McAllister has gone at least five innings and given up no more than three earned runs in his past 12 starts. ... Choo has been hit by a pitch 14 times this season, most in the majors. ... RH Justin Masterson, who has won three of his past four starts, goes for Cleveland on Wednesday against RH Bronson Arroyo, who is 3-0 in his past three starts with a 1.33 ERA. ' ' '
