Hanson (9-10) went 0-5 in his previous 10 starts. But he was in total command against New York. A double in the fourth was the lone hit off the Atlanta starter.
The Braves won their fifth straight and stayed level with Cincinnati for the overall NL lead.
Atlanta started the game with three straight hits off Mets starter Mike Pelfrey (13-8), who went five innings.
Reds 6, Brewers 1
In Cincinnati, Aroldis Chapman hit 165 kph on the radar gun, then got his first big league win when Cincinnati rallied to beat Milwaukee.
Chapman (1-0) threw two pitches at that speed in his second straight unhittable performance.
The Reds stretched their NL Central lead to a season-high eight games over St Louis.
Ryan Hanigan’s pinch-hit, three-run homer in the seventh off Todd Coffey (2-3) set up the Reds’ three-game sweep. Cincinnati has dominated the Brewers all season, winning seven of eight.
