Morning Briefing: Braves keep tormenting Mets
ATLANTA -- With the New York Mets playing the Atlanta Braves seven times in a nine-game span, this looked like a stretch during which the Amazin’s could pad their win total.
Instead, it has turned into an utter disaster.
Swept last weekend at Citi Field by the Braves, the Mets lost their fourth straight meeting against Atlanta on Thursday as the teams relocated to Turner Field.
After another loss on Thursday to the Braves, the Mets are looking to Steven Matz to right the ship against Atlanta.Now, Steven Matz looks to get the Mets back on track Friday. Matz (7-3, 2.74 ERA) opposes right-hander Aaron Blair (0-4, 7.19) at 7:35 p.m. ET.
