The Atlanta Braves and New York Mets face off in a National League East showdown at Citi Field in New York City. On Saturday it was the New York Mets who got the best of the Braves coming away with a 7-2 victory.

The Braves are a playoff team, but to say they have been inconsistent as of late might be a big understatement. Over the last three games the Braves have lost two games and in the two games they only scored three runs total. In the one win the Braves offense was elite putting up 15 runs, and they need more of the strong offensive games. Freddie Freeman has been the best offensive player putting up 11 home runs and driving in 48 RBI’s

On the other side of this matchup is the Mets who have had another disappointing year and a big issue has been their offense not living up to expectations. The Mets have been playing a little better as ol late winning three of the last four games and the only game they lost the pitching staff really let them down. On Saturday, the star of the show was Robinson Cano who had three hits and three RBI’s.
