Three games in New York have provided the cure for whatever ailed the Atlanta Braves.
Fresh off a historic doubleheader, the Braves will look to close a four-game sweep of the Mets on Sunday night in New York.The Braves followed a 7-0 victory in the series opener on Friday with a dominating performance in the doubleheader on Saturday. They cruised to a 21-3 rout in the opener and posted a 6-0 win in the nightcap.
Lopez is the first player to have at least four hits and five RBIs while producing a scoreless outing on the mound since the RBI became an official stat in 1920. The 27 runs surrendered by the Mets on Saturday tied a team record for the most allowed in a single day. The dismal performance in the doubleheader continued a nightmarish season for New York, which posted a 101-61 record last year and lost the NL East tiebreaker to the Braves.
