The Atlanta Braves squandered an opportunity to sweep a doubleheader from the Mets on Monday, which would have drastically cut into New York's lead in the National League East.
However, with their best starting pitcher scheduled to take the mound Tuesday and a well-rested bullpen behind him, theBraves headed to their midtown hotel late Monday feeling pretty good about the start to the pivotal five-game series.
Veteran right-hander Charlie Morton (9-3, 3.65 ERA) will look to give the Braves a lift, although he might not know who he's opposing until he gets to Citi Field.
