NEW YORK -- First baseman Lucas Duda's RBI single in the eighth inning snapped a tie Wednesday night and lifted the sizzling New York Mets to a 3-2 win over the Atlanta Braves at Citi Field.

The Mets (12-3) have won 10 straight games, including the first nine of a homestand that concludes Thursday afternoon. This is the ninth time the Mets have won 10 or more consecutive games, and the first since July 5-17, 2008.

The Braves (8-6) have lost six of their last nine.

The Mets built the go-ahead run with the small ball that has defined their winning streak. Pinch hitter Curtis Granderson drew a leadoff walk against right-hander Jim Johnson (1-1). With Granderson running, center fielder Juan Lagares laced an infield single into the vacated portion of second base as Granderson raced to third.

Duda followed with an opposite-field single, his second hit of the night, to score Granderson.

Right-hander Buddy Carlyle (1-0) got the last out of the eighth inning. Right-hander Jeurys Familia earned his seventh save with a perfect ninth.

Shortstop Wilmer Flores produced the Mets' first two runs with an RBI single in the second and a solo homer in the seventh.

Shortstop Andrelton Simmons had an RBI single in the second inning and third baseman Alberto Callaspo delivered a sacrifice fly in the fifth inning for the Braves. Catcher A.J. Pierzynski reached base in all four plate appearances (three hits and a walk) and scored a run.

Both starters pitched well but neither factored into the decision.

Braves left-hander Eric Stults allowed one run on four hits and no walks while striking out five over six innings. He was in line for the win until Flores homered off right-hander Cody Martin in the seventh.

Mets right-hander Dillon Gee allowed two runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out three over seven innings.
