He's now cashed in 6 of 7 save opportunities.
New York right fielder Ed Davis helped the Gothams go up, 1-0, in the bottom of the sixth inning. With the game tied, Davis hit a run-scoring single off Atlanta pitcher Jack Kotarski.
"Every time I step on the mound, I want to go out there and compete and bring my best game," said Nelson.
With the win over Atlanta, the Gothams improved to 37-42.
