NEW YORK -- Given the limited experience he’s had above the high school level, you could accurately label many of Spencer Schwellenbach’s first 10 big league starts as the “biggest games” he’s ever experienced.

But as good as Schwellenbach has been since making a surprising arrival near the end of May, he was at his best on what might have been a big swing day for the Braves. The rookie right-hander tallied a career-high 11 strikeouts in a 4-0 win over the Mets on Saturday afternoon at Citi Field.

Schwellenbach allowed just two hits over seven scoreless innings as the Braves snapped a six-game losing streak and regained a half-game lead over the Mets in the National League Wild Card race.

Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers in the fourth and Eddie Rosario added his own solo shot in the seventh. Ozuna joins Aaron Judge (36) and Shohei Ohtani (31) as the only MLB players who have hit at least 30 homers this year.

Regardless of what the Braves add before Tuesday’s Trade Deadline, they need a strong finish from Olson, whose solo shot was his first homer and second extra-base hit in a span of 58 at-bats that stretched back to July 7.
