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...
The Atlanta Braves enjoyed an off day on Thursday as the club gears up for tonight’s home-opener at Truist Park against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Braves enter the series with a 3-2 record, already showcasing their ridiculously strong offense. The Diamondbacks, who won the National League pennant last season, enter play with a 4-3 record. The three-game set gets underway tonight at 7:20 ET with Spencer Strider on the bump against Arizona’s Tommy Henry. Game two is slated for Saturday night...
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.

The competition will surely be hot, as the reigning NL Champions Arizona Diamondbacks are rolling into town for a three-game series. Spencer Strider is getting the...
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...
