NEW YORK, Sept. 22 (UPI) -- Yunel Escobar hit a two-run single Tuesday to lead the Atlanta Braves to a 3-1 victory over the New York Mets.

Rafael Soriano earned his 25th save of the season with a scoreless ninth.
Escobar also doubled and scored an insurance run in the ninth on Adam LaRoche's base hit. Martin Prado collected a pair of singles and scored for Atlanta, which has won 10 of its last 12 games.
