The Atlanta Braves will try to make it five-straight wins Sunday when they wrap up a three-game series against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Bryce Elder will get the start for Atlanta while the Mets will go with right-hander Luis Severino.
Atlanta secured a series win with a 4-1 victory Saturday and came within one out of their first no-hitter since 1994. The Braves improved to 24-12 on the season and enter Sunday two games back of the Philadelphia Phillies.
Elder is looking to bounce back from a rough outing in his last start against the Dodgers where he was tagged for seven runs in just 3 1⁄3 innings. Elder tossed 6 2⁄3 scoreless innings in his season debut against the Marlins. He’s struggled with walks in two starts since his debut issuing eight free passes over his last 8 2⁄3 innings. Elder made two starts against the Mets last season where he allowed five runs in 11 1⁄3 innings combined.
Right-hander Luis Severino signed with the Mets during the offseason in hopes of revitalizing his career after an injury plagued end to his tenure with the Yankees. Severino has looked the part through the early going posting a 2.93 ERA and a 3.38 FIP over his first seven starts with the Mets. He will be looking to bounce back after a rough start of his own where he walked a season-high six batters while allowing four runs over five innings against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Atlanta has outscored the Mets 8-3 in the series and has out homered them 4-2. Orlando Arcia got the scoring started Saturday with a two-run shot off Mets rookie Christian Scott in the third inning. Michael Harris led the way with three hits, which snapped an 0-for-29 skid, and made two nice running catches in center field.
Sunday’s game will be featured on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball and has a scheduled start time of 7:10 p.m. ET.
