Another pitcher to make season debut in Mets-Braves series (Jun 11, 2017)

ATLANTA — For the fourth time in four days, a pitcher will make his first start of the season when the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets meet Sunday in the series finale at SunTrust Park.

New York will send right-hander Seth Lugo to the mound for his season debut. He will be opposed by Atlanta left-hander Jaime Garcia (2-4, 3.21), who has been the most consistent starter for the Braves this season.

Already in this series, Atlanta’s Sean Newcomb and Matt Wisler and New York’s Steven Matz have made their first big-league start of the season.
