UP NEXT Mets: Right-hander Zack Wheeler (1-1, 2.77 ERA) will make his fifth career start in Atlanta, where he is 2-1 with a 1.93 although this will be his first start in SunTrust Park.
Braves: Righty Mike Foltynewicz (1-1, 2.53) will make his third start against the Mets since joining the Braves in 2015 and hope for better. In a relief appearance and two starts against New York, he's 0-1 with a 10.45 ERA in 10.1 innings vs. the Mets.
TRAINER'S ROOM Mets: LHP Jason Vargas, who signed a two-year contract with New York in February after playing most recently for the Royals, is expected to make a final rehabilitation start Monday for Triple-A Las Vegas and then join the Mets' starting rotation. He has been out since surgery to remove a small bone in his non-pitching hand.
Braves: C Tyler Flowers, who has been sidelined since straining an oblique on opening day, is working with Triple-A Gwinnett. If all goes well, he may rejoin Atlanta as soon as next weekend.

And for the love of god can someone else besides us beat the freaking faillies.

I'll be at this game today. Really hoping the weather holds out. Got a poncho just in case.
Pretty sure this is the first time I've seen Folty pitch in person.

This is what happens after getting excited after a Braves win and impulsively buying tickets for the game the next day without checking the weather report. Womp womp.

Looks like we have some overrunning from a warm front. Lots of strati-form clouds with a few embedded thunderstorms and/or heavy downpour of short duration. Radar echoes are diminishing to the S and SW although a few small areas are developing and raining themselves out fairly quickly. The general flow is from the SW/SSW. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorm are developing to the SW/SSW near Carrollton/Newnan and moving NE/NNE but are much less coverage than the last several hours. I'd expect the worst of this latest activity to pass by 2 PM but there will most likely be intervals of light rain and maybe a brief downpour or two this afternoon in the vicinity. The showers are moving fairly quickly. I'd estimate about 30-40 MPH so any downpours should be short in duration. I wouldn't think more than .1-.25" this afternoon but I'll have to check the RAP and HRRR solutions for more info on the exact amount expected. We may have several hours to get the game in but I expect coverage and intensity to pick later this afternoon or early this evening. Hopefully we can start by 2:30 -PA
Go Braves!

I'm very impressed with Eric Young. Love what he's doing with the young guys.
