NEW YORK — This is the wrong time for the rest of Atlanta's lineup to leave Justin Upton all alone. Juan Lagares hit a two-run homer and ran down one ball after another in center field, sending Dillon Gee and the New York Mets to a 3-2 victory over the slumping Braves on Tuesday night. One day after his 27th birthday, Upton extended his monthlong tear by going 3 for 3 with an RBI double and a walk.
