It took getting out of Queens for the Mets to finally find their footing this season. After a 1-5 start at Citi Field, the Mets got their first series win on the road against the Cincinnati Reds. New York won 3-1 in Game 3 on Sunday, where Francisco Lindor hit a home run and ended an 0-for-24 skid, the third-longest hitless streak of his career, and gave fans a much-needed glimmer of hope.
The Mets stay on the road this week, and will look to put a dent in the record of the National League East-leading Braves, who are 6-2 after sweeping the Diamondbacks in three straight games. The Mets struggled against Atlanta last season, going just 3-10 in the 2023 head-to-head, and losing all four series played.
New York returns to Citi Field on Friday, April 12, to host the Kansas City Royals. Here’s the Mets-Braves series schedule:
