A rough eighth inning by Miguel Socolovich and Akeel Morris was the difference in a 6-2 loss to the Mets in the spring opener. Alex Jackson and Cristian Pache recorded run scoring hits for the Braves. Matt Wisler got the start and tossed two scoreless innings.
Luiz Gohara is among a group of pitchers trying to win a spot in the Braves’ opening day rotation. However, according to a report by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution’s David O’Brien, Gohara has been slowed during the early part of camp due to tightness in his groin.
