Thursday’s game: Braves at Mets

Where: at Citi Field, New York

When: 1:10 p.m.

TV/Radio: SPSO/680, 93.7, 106.7

Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Julio Teheran (2-0, 3.71) vs. RH Bartolo Colon (3-0, 2.25)

What's new: Teheran is looking to get back in gear after giving up a career-high four home runs in Toronto. The Braves are looking to do something they've never done — get Colon off of his game. The 41-year-old pitcher has faced the Braves seven times in his career and put up quality starts each time. Colon has never gone less than seven innings against the Braves and never given up more than three runs to them. Colon is 5-2 with a 2.25 ERA against the Braves, including a 4-3 win April 12 at Turner Field. Jonny Gomes is a good place to start. He's 8-for-21 against Colon for his career, and three of those hits have been homers, including his solo shot in the seventh inning April 12 to tie the score 3-3.
