Game Preview

Relief pitcher Ryne Stanek has joined the surging New York Mets as they face the struggling Atlanta Braves in a pivotal matchup on Saturday afternoon.

The Mets are set to strengthen their lead in the National League wild-card standings as they host Atlanta in the third game of a four-game series.

Tylor Megill is slated to return from Triple-A Syracuse to start for the Mets against Braves right-hander Spencer Schwellenbach. New York pulled ahead of Atlanta in the wild-card race with an 8-4 victory on Friday, powered by a seven-run third inning featuring homers from J.D. Martinez, Mark Vientos, and Francisco Alvarez.

The addition of Stanek, acquired from the Seattle Mariners for minor leaguer Rhylan Thomas, was announced just before Martinez’s grand slam, which ignited the Mets’ fifth consecutive win. This win extended a remarkable turnaround for the Mets, who have gone 33-15 with the most runs scored in the majors since May 30, overturning a significant deficit to overtake the Braves.

With the wild-card race tightly contested, the Mets hold a slim lead over the Braves and San Diego Padres, with other teams close behind in the playoff hunt.
