After an ugly and messy loss Wednesday in Boston, the Atlanta Braves will continue their road trip Friday when they begin a three-game series against the NL East leading New York Mets. The Braves enter Friday’s series opener 2.5 games out of first place after New York swept a doubleheader against the Rockies on Thursday.
The series will feature some intriguing pitching matchups. Ian Anderson will start opposite of Taijuan Walker who will be activated from the injured list. Max Fried will match up against David Peterson on Saturday on FOX while Charlie Morton and Jacob deGrom will wrap things up on ESPN Sunday night.
