The NL East race has been a marathon with the New York Mets leading the way. Despite coming off of a World Series win, the Atlanta Braves appeared to be flying under the radar a bit with the Mets looking like the front runner. Atlanta entered this weekend’s series with little margin for error, but made an emphatic statement with back-to-back wins over Jacob deGrom Friday and a 4-2 win over Max Scherzer Saturday.
Kyle Wright was tasked with matching zeroes with Scherzer Saturday and found himself in trouble right away. New York jumped out to a 1-0 lead on a ground out by Eduardo Escobar.
