The Atlanta Braves are back at it Sunday and will try to pick up the pieces after a doubleheader sweep against the New York Mets Saturday. Atlanta has won just one of the first four games of the series and have dropped 5.5 games behind in the NL East standings. New York’s “put it in play” approach wreaked havoc on Atlanta who committed four errors in the two games and struck out a combined 22 times against Mets pitching.
The task doesn’t get any easier Sunday as Atlanta will face Jacob deGrom who will be making his second start of the season.
