The Atlanta Braves are SO back.
The top of Atlanta’s lineup hit three third-inning home runs last night while Charlie Morton pitched a gem to start the short road trip off with a 4-2 victory over the New York Mets last night in Citi Field.
The Braves are looking to keep the winning streak going tonight, as they’re sending lefty ace Max Fried (2-1, 4.23) to the mound against Mets prospect Christian Scott (0-0, 1.35), making his second career Major League start.
