Season series: Tied 3-3
The Braves have been singing to the Creedence Clearwater Revival tune: “Who’ll Stop the Rain?” They were rained out Tuesday and tried to play a doubleheader Wednesday but only got the early 9-4 loss in. Not only are they dealing with the actual downpour, but they are reeling due to injuries after losing 2B Ozzie Albies (wrist) for potentially 8 weeks. DH Marcell Ozuna is doing everything he can with a .412 BA, 4 homers and 5 RBIs over the last 15 days. The Braves have lost 3 straight.
Conversely, the Mets have won 3 straight after pounding the New York Yankees and RHP Gerrit Cole 12-3 Wednesday. SS Francisco Lindor went 3-for-6 with 2 homers and 5 RBIs. Mets 2B Jeff McNeil is also raking at .400 with 4 homers and 8 RBIs the last 7 days.
