Where: Turner Field
When: 7:10 p.m.
TV/radio: FSSO/680, 93.7, 106.7
Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Williams Perez (3-0, 2.29) vs. RH Noah Syndergaard (2-4, 3.76)
What's new: Syndergaard is making his eighth start since his major league call-up May 9 when Dillon Gee went on the disabled list with a groin strain. Now Gee is out of the Mets' rotation (designated for assignment), and the Mets are giving yet another hard-throwing prospect a legitimate chance to see what he can do. Syndergaard throws 98 mph, and while this is his first official start against the Braves, he has faced them in spring training. Nick Markakis entered the series a new major-league record holder. Entering Friday, he had played in 393 consecutive errorless games as an outfielder. Darren Lewis held the previous mark from 1990-94. Markakis also had RBIs in four consecutive games, a streak that was snapped Thursday. Markakis leads the Braves with a .395 on-base percentage.
