The Braves dropped the opener Monday night 8-7. The Mets tagged Atlanta's bullpen for three runs in the eighth inning to take an 8-5 advantage. Atlanta battled back as they have done multiple times on their homestand, but came up short in the ninth.
With Spencer Strider facing a season-ending injury, Reynaldo Lopez's role in the Braves' rotation becomes crucial. Lopez impressed in his first start of the season, allowing only one run over six innings in Chicago.
Adrian Houser, formerly with the Brewers, had a solid season debut for the Mets, allowing just one run over five innings against the Tigers. He has a history of facing the Braves with a 4.88 ERA in his career.
Marcell Ozuna and Orlando Arcia contributed offensively for the Braves in Monday's game, but the Mets, led by Brandon Nimmo's multi-homer performance, secured the win with three home runs.
