ATLANTA -- Jacob deGrom hopes Mets manager Terry Collins lets him make one last start. With the way hes pitching, deGrom sees no reason to stop now even though New York might want to keep the rookie under 185 innings for the season. "I told him I would like to make my next one," deGrom said. "Why not?" DeGrom struck out 10 in six innings and the Mets finished a three-game sweep that knocked the Atlanta Braves out of the playoff hunt Sunday with a 10-2 victory. A half-game out of first place in the NL East on July 29, the Braves have gone 18-30 since then to fall 15 back of Washington. Atlanta was eliminated from the wild-card chase when Pittsburgh beat Milwaukee 1-0 earlier Sunday. The Braves lost for the 14th time in 18 September games as deGrom struck out 10 in six innings to extend his impressive streak since June 21. In his last start, de Grom (9-6) tied the single-game major league record by striking out his first eight batters. Against Atlanta, the shaggy-haired right-hander struck out eight of the first 11 batters he faced. "I was just trying to stay within myself early on and then if I needed, try to throw it by somebody with a little bit on it," deGrom said. "I was actually trying to do that consciously. That was the game plan." DeGrom allowed three hits, three walks and two runs -- one earned -- as he threw 63 of 100 pitches for strikes. In his last 15 starts, the rookie is 9-2 with a 1.90 ERA over 99 1-3 innings. DeGrom also used his bat, earning his second career RBI with a squeeze bunt that put New York ahead 6-2 in the sixth. The light-hitting Braves dropped to 8-60 when scoring two runs or less and got swept for the seventh time this year in a series of three or more games. Atlanta began the day ranked next-to-last in runs scored in the majors and was third in the NL in strikeouts. Shortstop Andrelton Simmons said it was hard to believe the team has been such a mess offensively. "The whole year we knew we were struggling at the plate to score runs, but we were hopeful that it was going to turn around," Simmons said. "You try to grind it out. It never happened." The Mets went up in the first on Daniel Murphys RBI groundout and 2-0 in the second on Tejadas sacrifice fly. They led 5-0 in the fourth when Curtis Granderson scored on Christian Bethancourts passed ball, Anthony Recker had a sacrifice fly and Tejada hit his fourth homer. Braves starter Ervin Santana (14-10) said its hard on pitchers to keep games close when the offence struggles so badly to produce. Santana gave up six hits and five runs with two walks and four strikeouts in five innings. "As a pitcher, we have our confidence up, but you either have to throw a complete game shutout or something like that to get a win," he said. "Its very tough." Atlanta made it 5-2 in the fifth. Justin Upton scored when Andrelton Simmons reached on shortstop Tejadas fielding error and Emilio Bonifacio drew a walk. But deGrom, who faced eight batters in the inning, struck out Phil Gosselin to leave the bases loaded. DeGrom said Collins told him that he and general manager Sandy Alderson will soon decide on a potential 23rd major league start for the rookie. DeGrom started seven games at Triple-A Las Vegas before making his debut May 15 in a 1-0 home loss to the Yankees. "I want to get to 185 (innings) so theres no limit next year," deGrom said. "I want to get to the 200 mark with no problem next year." UP NEXT Mets: RHP Bartolo Colon (14-12) is 2-4 with a 3.07 ERA in six career starts against Washington. The NL East champion Nationals begin a three-game series in New York on Tuesday. Braves: RHP Aaron Harang (11-11) is 16-7 with a 4.15 ERA in 27 career starts against Pittsburgh. The Pirates open a four-game series Monday at Turner Field. GETTING EVEN The Mets swept a three-game series at Turner Field for the first time since Aug. 31-Sept. 2, 2007. New York won 10 of 19 games this year for its first season series victory against the Braves since 2006. Fake Yeezy 700 Carbon Blue .

Both games are live Sky Sports.All three started the day on 87 points and Boro will count the cost of a host of missed chances. Reaction from Daniel Ayala and Grant Leadbitter after Birmingham and Middlesbrough drew 2-2 at St Andrews It took until the the 25th minute for them to carve out an opening - and it was a glorious one which Rhodes should have taken.Grant Leadbitter barged his way through in the middle and when the ball ricocheted to Rhodes, the Scotland international was left with just Adam Legzdins to beat but the goalkeeper made a superb sprawling save.Two minutes later the hosts almost took the lead when Dimi Konstantopoulos palmed Maikel Kieftenbelds drive away and then claimed Clayton Donaldsons tame follow-up. Birmingham City manager Gary Rowett praised his players after the 2-2 draw with promotion chasing Middlesbrough The game suddenly opened up and Legzdins raced off his line to deny Rhodes again before Birmingham struck first after 33 minutes.ddddddddddddLoanee Ritchie De Laet - who will earn a Premier League winners medal if Leicester win the title - could only clear as far as Gleeson and the midfielder was given too much time to steady himself and while Konstantopoulos got a hand to his 25-yard drive, he could not keep it out.Boro hit back almost immediately when Legzdins thwarted Albert Adomah but the keeper then undid all his fine work with a fumble five minutes before the break. Birmingham City keeper Adam Legzdins gifted Middlesbrough a first-half equaliser The visitors were awarded a free kick 25-yards out and Legzdins spilled Ramirezs strike straight to Rhodes who bundled in from four yards.The chances continued to flow after the break as Ryan Shottons header dropped just wide before Boro missed three golden chances in the space of 10 seconds. Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka gives his post-match reaction after his sides 2-2 draw against Birmingham First, Rhodes volleyed Leadbitters free-kick against the post, only to then block Adomahs follow-up and see Ramirez fire a third attempt over the bar, but Boro finally took the lead after 57 minutes with a goal of true simplicity.Adomahs deep cross found Rhodes peeling off at the far post and his header across goal was met by Ramirez to nod in from barely a yard. Birmingham Citys Jonathan Grounds and Middlesbroughs Albert Adomah battle for the ball Back came Birmingham, though, and Davis levelled 11 minutes later with a brilliant half-volley from the edge of the area after Ayala could only half clear.And an enthralling game continued to spark within 90 seconds when Ayala had a goal ruled out for offside having curled into the far corner from 12 yards.Boro then almost lost the game when Diego Fabbrini headed over and Konstanopoulos twice denied David Cotterill in the final 10 minutes.But Leadbitter nearly won it with two minutes left when Legzdins turned his rasping drive onto the bar.
