The Mets (45-62) and the Braves (62-44) conclude their three-game series tonight.
After heavy rains in the tri-state area last night, these teams were slated to play Game 2 of the series early Wednesday afternoon.
As a refresher, the Mets took the opener on Monday night, 14-3. Francisco Lindor led the offensive assault with a couple of home runs and six RBIs. Martin Perez got beat up early but the brunt of the damage came against Connor Thomas who allowed 11 runs over just 2.2 innings.
Tonight, Atlanta turns to its ace, Chris Sale (11-6, 2.19 ERA). Sale has once again been one of the National League’s most dominant starters. Over his last eight starts, the veteran has allowed 12 earned runs in 44 innings. The Mets counter with Christian Scott (3-2, 3.13 ERA), who has quietly put together a strong season. Since the start of May, the 27-year-old has pitched 62 innings and allowed just 21 earned runs.
