WEDNESDAY’S GAME: BRAVES VS. METS

Probable starting pitchers: Braves LH Eric Stults (0-1, 6.30) vs. RH Dillon Gee (0-1, 7.59)

What's new: Despite a standout spring training that won him the fourth starter's job, Stults has had a rough go in his first two outings as a Brave. He's given up seven earned runs in 10 innings, including three runs in five innings (two homers) the first time he faced the Mets. The Braves have had trouble with Gee in the past, but this newly worked lineup got him for five runs on April 11, including a home run from Freddie Freeman. The Braves will just do well to score first. They were 6-1 entering the series in games when they got on the board first. A.J. Pierzynski has homered in 31 major league ballparks. This is his first chance to play in Citi Field, looking to make it 32. (Nationals Park and Dodger Stadium are the only current parks where he's had at least one plate appearance and has not homered.)
