On what figures to be a special night at Truist Park, the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets are restoring baseball hostilities for the first time here in the 2024 season. The Mets are coming into this series on a bit of a high note after getting beat and battered by the Brewers and Tigers, respectively, to start the season. They won their series in Cincinnati against the Reds and are now rolling into Georgia to face their divisional rivals in the South. Part of the reason for their initial...
On Monday, the country was treated to a rare and awe-inspiring sight, on that doesn’t come around often but, when it does, lets people rejoice and understand the beauty of existence. No, I’m not talking about the solar eclipse (well, not exclusively). I’m referring to the Mets defeating the Braves, which they did with in thrilling, come-from-behind fashion, 8-7. The Mets came into this game with losses in 11 of their last 13 games at Truist Park dating back to August 2022, but they found a way...
The Atlanta Braves will be looking to secure a series win Thursday afternoon when they wrap up a weather shortened three-game series against the New York Mets. The Braves dropped the opener Monday, but held on Tuesday to secure a 6-5 win. Wednesday’s game was postponed until September due to the threat of inclement weather. Both teams elected to push back their Wednesday starters for Thursday’s game. Young right-hander Allan Winans will make his season debut for Atlanta while New York will go...
The offense for the Atlanta Braves came to play once again but this time, they were unable to outslug their opponents. Two home runs and five RBIs from Brandon Nimmo were enough to help push the New York Mets to an 8-7 win on the 50th Anniversary of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Both teams traded scoreless innings for the first couple of innings (which included this nifty strike 'em out/throw 'em out play for the Braves in the first inning) but it wasn't long before Atlanta got some offense...

ATLANTA (AP) The third game of a four-game series between the Atlanta Braves and New York Mets was postponed on Wednesday because of inclement weather.
Those keeping eyes on the weather ahead of the first round of the prestigious Masters tournament will not be happy to see the nearby Atlanta Braves postponed their game on Wednesday.
The Mets and Braves were rained out with the game rescheduled for September 26. The team transferred Kodai Senga to the 60-day IL which means his original return date of May 27 will now be pushed back. After transferring their ace to the 60-day, they called up Tyler Jay to take his spot on the 40-man roster. Jay had to battle a medical issue before finding his way back to baseball. With Senga not returning any time soon, how will the team continue to navigate his injury? Collectors Holdings,...
After a rainout and a well-needed day off, the Mets let their rested bats loose, picking up 16 hits and 16 runs on their way to an easy win over the Braves, 16-4. The Mets took advantage of spot-starter Allan Winans early, scoring in each of the first three innings. A walk and two singles led to a run in the fourth, A walk, a double, and an error led to a pair of runs in the second, putting the Mets up 3-0. In the third, the Mets broke the game wide open. Back to back doubles by Francisco...
Much like Sunday afternoon’s contest, a pitcher’s duel broke out in Flushing Monday evening, this time with Adrian Houser matching up with the Pirates’ Martin Perez. Both starters pitched around some trouble early, with Houser stranding two runners in both the second and third innings. This time, the zeroes ceased in the sixth inning, with the Pirates breaking through for three runs in the top of the frame. Ke’Bryan Hayes led off with a walk, advanced to second on a force out, and game around to...
Darius Vines would put in a tough spot on Monday. The Braves pitching staff as a whole had been struggling since Spencer Strider was lost for the season, and now Vines was called up to face a dangerous Houston Astros lineup (despite their early record.) Fortunately, Vines and the rest of the Braves pitching staff was ready for the challenge in a 6-1 victory over the Astros. Vines did his job over the first 4 2⁄3 innings, and then the Braves bullpen kept the Astros scoreless the rest of the way....
The Mets and Braves have been postponed tonight because of rain in the Atlanta area, and the game will be made up on September 26. Each team has won one game thus far in the series, and they’re set to wrap up the series tomorrow afternoon at 12:20 PM EDT. There’s some rain in the forecast tomorrow, too, and it wouldn’t be shocking if that game were delayed. But it does look like they’ll be able to play it. With the postponement, the Mets get an unexpected off day in the middle of this stretch...
