Game Preview
The New York Mets couldn’t handle the Atlanta Braves offense in yesterday’s game and got completely stomped by them in a 13-1 loss at Truist Park. Ronald Acuña Jr. tallied 3 RBI doubles and William Contreras teamed with Eddie Rosario to hit back-to-back. But the most impressive performance was fashioned by Spencer Strider, who allowed a single run over 5 innings, 3 of which were completed after a 55-minute rain delay.
The Braves are now running on a 7-game winning streak after yesterday’s win and their recent sweep over the Miami Marlins. The Braves entered Monday, second in the National League East race, 5 games behind the Mets for the top spot in the division.
