ATLANTA — Tylor Megill’s respectable rookie season received a proper sendoff Friday night.

In his final 2021 start, the right-hander fired five shutout innings, allowing just one hit, in the Mets’ 4-3 victory over the Braves at Truist Park. A June addition to the rotation, when the Mets were in desperate need of arms, Megill finished with a 4.52 ERA in 18 starts.

“You get to do it one time as a rookie, so on to the next one,” Megill said. “Now, it’s just time to work and get better.”

Brandon Nimmo homered twice to lead the Mets’ offensive attack. Pete Alonso delivered an RBI double and James McCann had a run-scoring single.

A night after clinching their fourth straight NL East title, the Braves didn’t awaken until the sixth inning, scoring a run against Jeurys Familia. In the seventh, Eddie Rosario homered against Heath Hembree. In the eighth, Ehire Adrianza homered off Trevor May to slice the Mets’ lead to 4-3. May gave up a single to Austin Riley and double to Rosario, but escaped the inning, leaving runners on second and third.

Edwin Diaz recorded the final three outs for his 32nd save in 38 chances this season.
