The Atlanta Braves will continue the Grapefruit League schedule Thursday when they make the trip to Port St. Lucie to take on the New York Mets for the first time this spring. Left-hander Kolby Allard will make his second start of the spring for Atlanta while veteran righty Carlos Carrasco will get the start for the Mets.
Allard started the spring opener for Atlanta where he allowed three hits and one run over two innings of work. The Braves will roll out a lineup Thursday filled with mostly reserves and roster hopefuls with the exception of shortstop Vaughn Grissom who will hit second.
