Backed by a big hit from his former Triple-A roommate, Matt Wisler enjoyed a major league debut that ranked with the best in Atlanta history. Wisler allowed only one run in eight innings to outpitch Jacob deGrom, and Jace Peterson hit a two-run double in the eighth to lift the Atlanta Braves to a 2-1 win over the New York Mets on Friday night. ''At no point did he ever look out of place or intimidated by the moment,'' Braves catcher A.J. Pierzynski said of Wisler.
