The Atlanta Braves will be looking to finish off a sweep and to keep the pressure on the New York Mets when they wrap up a three-game series against the Cincinnati Reds Sunday. Atlanta improved to 4-1 on their current six-game road trip with a win Saturday. Atlanta trailed the Mets by 10.5 games on June 1, but that lead is down to just 2.5 games after Saturday’s win.
Charlie Morton will get the start for Atlanta Sunday and will be looking to build off of a solid June. Morton wasn’t sharp in his last start allowing seven hits and four walks, but was able to minimize the damage allowing just two runs over 5 2/3 innings against the Phillies.
