Atlanta Braves
['Gary Butts']
101.7 WGOG
Martín Pérez pitched six more scoreless innings, Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson homered, and the Atlanta Braves beat the New York Mets 4-0 Tuesday night.
Pérez (8-6) stretched his scoreless stretch to 18 innings, the third-longest active starting streak in the majors behind Tampa Bay’s Drew Rasmussen and Miami’s Sandy Alcantara, both at 20 innings.
The 35-year-old left-hander has given a huge boost to the Braves’ injury plagued rotation since being brought in as a non-roster addition for spring training.
RHP Tyler Mahle (3-9, 4.83) makes his second start for the Braves in the finale of the three-game series against Mets LHP Zac Thornton (3-2, 2.52).
Mahle pitched six scoreless innings in his Atlanta debut against the Yankees after being acquired ahead of the trade deadline from San Francisco.
