Braves' Allan Winans set for first start of season vs. Mets

April 11 - Mother Nature forced right-hander Allan Winans to wait an extra day to make his season debut for the Atlanta Braves.

Scheduled to pitch in place of injured ace Spencer Strider, Winans will look to lead the Braves to victory on Thursday afternoon when they conclude their series against the visiting New York Mets.

Atlanta rebounded from an 8-7 setback in the series opener on Monday by jumping out to a six-run lead and holding on for a 6-5 victory over New York on Tuesday.

Winans was slated to pitch on Wednesday, but that game was postponed approximately three hours before the scheduled start time of 7:20 p.
