Thanks to a rainout in St. Louis on Wednesday, the New York Mets' schedule in August will open with a four-city road trip in which they'll play 10 games in three time zones.
On Friday, the Mets get a much more familiar but pressing task — figuring out a way to beat their nemesis, the Atlanta Braves.
The Mets will resume their slate and attempt to extend their winning streak to three games on Friday night when they host Atlanta in the opener of a three-game series between the National League East rivals.
