Sunday’s game: Braves vs. Mets

Where: Turner Field

When: 5:10 p.m.

TV/Radio: FSSO/680, 93.7, 106.7

Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Julio Teheran (4-3, 5.07 ERA) vs. RH Matt Harvey (7-4, 3.32)

What's new: The Braves have faced Harvey twice, once Aug. 10, 2012 in New York, getting only two hits (including a Jason Heyward homer) in six innings on their way to a 4-0 victory. Harvey walked five and struck out only three in that game. The Braves faced Harvey again June 18, 2013, getting three runs on three hits in seven innings but taking a 4-3 loss in a game they struck out 13 times against Harvey. Freddie Freeman is 0-for-6 with two strikeouts against Harvey and is unlikely to play again Sunday because of his sore wrist. Andrelton Simmons went 2-for-3 with a double in Friday's series opener against the Mets to raise his average against them this season to .429 (15-for-35) with five doubles, a triple and six RBIs.
