A battle between two National League East rivals is set to commence from the Empire State as the New York Mets prepare to take on the Atlanta Braves for the third game in just over a 24-hour span.
The two teams met in a double-header on Monday, as the two teams made up the postponement of their May 28 contest. The Mets won game one by a final score of 4-2, thanks to a three-run fifth inning. In game two, the Braves were able to sneak out a 1-0 win, as Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his 20th homerun of the season to earn the day’s split.
