Freddie Freeman came off the bench to hit a two-run double and a three-run homer Wednesday night in New York, giving the Braves their second consecutive series win.

Freeman, out of the lineup with a sore wrist, hit a pinch-hit two-run double to put the Braves ahead in the seventh inning, then crushed a three-run homer in the ninth off Mets closer Jeurys Familia for a 6-3 win in a series finale at Citi Field.

The Braves have won five of their past six games.
