Since the Atlanta Braves unleashed a 14 run outburst on Philadelphia on Wednesday, the bats have gone mostly silent, scoring 3, 3, 1, and 1 runs while managing to split those contests.
Today… yet another Met comes back from injury and dominates the Braves. This time it was starting pitcher Seth Lugo, who got through 7 innings – seemingly getting stronger as he went. Lugo finished with 6K, 6 hits, 2 walks, and out-pitched his counterpart by a slim (replay reviewed) margin.
So the Braves drop 3 of the 4 games in this busy weekend series to the Mets (while scoring just 3 times total) and maintain a third place tie with the Marlins at 27-35.
