Marcus Semien hit a long two-run homer that snapped a 3-3 tie in the sixth inning. Tyrone Taylor extended his tear at the plate with a three-run drive in the seventh as the last-place Mets (45-62) matched a season high with 19 hits and hammered a first-place opponent for the second consecutive day.
Taylor and Semien each had a three-run homer Sunday, when New York beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-3.
Lindor, Semien, Taylor, Bo Bichette and rookie A.J. Ewing had three hits apiece as the Mets scored double-digit runs for the 10th time this season.
Rookie starter Zac Thornton (2-1) allowed three runs and six hits in 6.1 innings. The left-hander struck out five and walked one in his fifth big league start.
Lindor hit an RBI triple off the top of the right-field wall and a two-run homer to left in his first two at-bats against Atlanta starter Martín Pérez. The star shortstop then gave the Mets their final three runs with a towering drive into the left-field seats off reliever Connor Thomas (0-1) to cap a five-run eighth.
It was Lindor’s 23rd career multihomer game and first since Aug. 15 last year against Seattle. The switch-hitter had six RBIs for the fourth time and first since April 14, 2023. It was the first time he’s had two homers and a triple in one game.
Ozzie Albies hit a tying homer for the Braves in the fourth and drove in all three of their runs.
Atlanta star Ronald Acuña Jr. returned to the lineup after missing 37 games with a strained left hamstring and went 1 for 4 with two strikeouts.
Pérez yielded three runs and eight hits in five innings. Thomas was tagged for 11 runs and 10 hits in 2.2 innings, and Atlanta used infielder Jorge Mateo on the mound to finish the eighth.
