ATLANTA — Carlos Beltran hit a pair of two-run homers, David Wright added a two-run shot of his own and the New York Mets beat the Atlanta Braves, 6-4, Monday night to match their 2008 total for wins at Turner Field.
The Mets, who went 1-8 in Atlanta last season, improved to 30-63 at Turner Field since the start of the 1998 season.
Beltran, hitting .400, was two for three with a walk. The two homers gave him four this season.
Before the game, the Mets announced they were removing struggling left-handed starter Oliver Perez from the rotation and sending him to the bullpen.
