Touki Toussaint gets crack at rotation as Braves continue series against Mets

The Atlanta Braves will be looking for their fourth straight win Saturday night when they continue their series against the New York Mets. Atlanta improved to 5-3 Friday night after scoring five runs in the eighth to complete a comeback in an 11-10 victory.

Brian Snitker announced Friday that Touki Toussaint will get the first crack of filling the rotation spot that was previously held by Mike Foltynewicz. Foltynewicz was designated for assignment following his first start of the season in a loss at Tampa Bay. Toussaint followed Foltynewicz in relief and allowed five hits and six runs in just 2 2/3 innings.
