Even though they lost 8-5 to Atlanta on Sunday, the Mets will take the results from the series in Atlanta. The Mets left town with a rare series victory at Turner Field and their first since 2003. In fact, they'll be happy with their April performance, where they lost just one series (to Atlanta at home) and ended up sitting six games ahead of the Braves in the NL East. Yes, it's a long season, but it's still a good start.

And in a move to please the crowds in Atlanta, the Mets dropped another game to the Braves. The 6-3 loss gave Bobby Cox his 2000th career win. He is the 9th manager to reach that mark and joins Tony LaRussa as the only other active manager on the list. The Mets lost two of the three games in the series and return home to face the Expos.
