Last night s contest at New York was postponed due to inclement weather...the two teams are now scheduled to play a traditional doubleheader on September 25...First pitch is set for 4:10 p.m. The Braves and the Mets met earlier this month for the season-opening series, also at Citi Field, with New York taking two of three. Tonight s starting pitcher Julio Teheran is making his second start against the Mets this season and his second at Citi Field...Teheran, who threw 6.0 scoreless frames while allowing four hits on Opening Day (April 3), has pitched at a 0.63 ERA (3 ER/43.0 IP) while going 3-0 in his last six starts against NYM (dating to June 21, 2015)...In his last 22.0 innings pitched at Citi Field, Teheran has allowed one earned run.

UPS AND DOWNS: The Braves on Sunday dropped their sixth consecutive contest, dropping their record to 6-12 overall and 4-6 in their last 10 games...the current six-game losing streak is their longest such streak of the season and follows a stretch in which Atlanta strung together five consecutive wins, April 12-17...From April 6 to April 11, the Braves dropped five straight. ONE AWAY FROM 200: 2B Brandon Phillips 199th career home run came in the top of Saturday night s ninth inning at PHI and evened the score at 2-2...With his 200th career homer, Phillips will become the 48th player in MLB history to tally 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases...his 200th career stolen base came on April 11 at Miami in a two-steal game. Upcoming Schedule and Probable Pitchers THE HIT MAN: 2B Brandon Phillips went 2-for-4 on Sunday at Philadelphia for his team-leading seventh multi-hit game...he also extended his hitting streak to 10 games and his on-base streak to 15 consecutive contests.
