Mets, Braves meet in NL East battle of unbeatens

Apr 6, 2007 - 3:42 PM NY Mets (3-0) at Atlanta (3-0) 7:35 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Braves won 14 straight division titles before the New York Mets ended the streak last season.

The National League East rivals enter a weekend series with unbeaten records. It will be the home opener for the Braves, who swept a three-game series in Philadelphia to start the season.

The Mets swept a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals, who beat New York, four games to three, in the NL Championship Series last October.

The Mets capped the sweep with a 10-0 win on Wednesday and outscored St. Louis, 20-2, in the three-game series.

Kelly Johnson hit a two-run homer as the Braves completed a sweep in Philadelphia with an 8-4 victory on Thursday.

Atlanta will start Mark Redman, who signed as a free agent in the offseason. The lefthander struggled with Kansas City in 2006, posting an 11-10 record with a 5.71 ERA in 29 starts.

Redman will be opposed by Oliver Perez, who will be making his first appearance since starting Game Seven of the NLCS. The lefthander was 3-13 with a 6.55 ERA with Pittsburgh and the Mets last season.
