Even after everything that has gone wrong this season, the Atlanta Braves are still in the thick of things in the NL East. The Braves closed to four games of the division lead with a 3-0 win over the New York Mets Tuesday night. They will have an opportunity to cut into that lead more when they wrap up a four game series at Citi Field Wednesday night.
Before Charlie Morton turned in a dazzling performance Tuesday night, Atlanta’s pitching staff took another hit when it was announced that Max Fried was headed to the injured list with a blister on his left index finger.
