The Atlanta Braves took on the Mets in a matchup that clearly looked in the Mets’ favor based on the pitching matchup. The Braves deployed Carlos Carrasco, who is at the end of his career vs David Peterson who is in the prime of his.
Jurickson Profar looked to get things started when he led off the game with a single, but then David Peterson did what he does best and forced three straight ground outs. Carlos Carrasco did not have the same fortune. Lindor led off with a double and then Soto and Nimmo drew back-to-back walks to load the bases with zero outs.
