The Atlanta Braves' long weekend in New York will include only two-and-a-half games.
The Braves and New York Mets are hoping to finally play baseball Monday afternoon, when the Mets are slated to host a single-admission doubleheader between the longtime division rivals.
Spencer Strider , who was scheduled to start each of the last two days for the Braves, will take the hill for the opener. Charlie Morton , Monday's originally scheduled starter, will start the second game. Assuming the series resumes Monday, the Mets will get their first glimpse this season at the red-hot Strider, who earned the win on April 24 by allowing two hits and striking out 13 over eight innings as the Braves routed the Miami Marlins, 11-0.
Morton earned the win last Tuesday, when he allowed one run over seven innings as the Braves beat the Miami Marlins, 7-4.
