After enjoying a second off day in four days on Thursday, the Atlanta Braves will wrap up a week-long road trip with a three-game series against the New York Mets which will get underway on Friday. Atlanta split a two-game series with the Boston Red Sox to begin the trip winning Tuesday’s game 3-1 behind a stellar performance by Charlie Morton. They carried a 4-3 lead into the sixth Wednesday but were unable to hold it in a 9-5 loss that also featured a three-hour rain delay.
The Mets swept a doubleheader from the Colorado Rockies Thursday to improve to 24-20 on the season.
