William Contreras gets the start for Braves in series finale against Mets

The Atlanta Braves will wrap up a three-game series against the Mets Sunday night with Sean Newcomb matchup up against Rick Porcello.

With a right-hander on the mound, Matt Adams and Ender Inciarte return to the lineup. Adams will hit fifth and will DH while Inciarte is back in centerfield and hitting eighth. Rookie catcher William Contreras will make the first start of his career behind the plate and will hit ninth. Contreras got into the two previous games as a defensive replacement and came through in the 10th inning of Saturday’s game with a run-scoring double on the first pitch he saw.
