ATLANTA • DJ Stewart, Rafael Ortega and Francisco Lindor homered as the New York Mets won for the seventh time in nine games, beating the first-place Braves 10-4 on Monday night despite two homers by Atlanta’s Marcell Ozuna.

Winans was charged with seven runs on nine hits in 4 1/3 innings, including a pair of homers in the third.
