After a much-needed off day Monday, the Atlanta Braves will try to pick up the pieces after a poor showing against the New York Mets this past weekend. Atlanta dropped four of five in New York and saw their deficit in the NL East balloon to 6.5 games. It could be as high as seven games before they start play on Tuesday. Sunday’s loss gave Atlanta its first three-game losing streak of the season.
The Braves will try to put that series behind them when they begin a two-game series at Fenway Park against the Red Sox Tuesday.
