Mets and Braves battle for top spot in NL East

Apr 21, 2007 - 2:07 PM Atlanta (11-5) at NY Mets (10-5), 1:10 pm EDT

FLUSHING, New York (Ticker) -- The New York Mets will again try to solve the Atlanta Braves when the teams meet on Saturday in the second game of a three-game series.

The Braves defeated the Mets 7-3 on Friday to move into first place in the National League East. Of the Mets five losses this season, three have come against Atlanta.

Oliver Perez (1-1, 3.72 ERA) gets the start for the Mets and will look to duplicate his first outing against the Braves this season. In New York's 11-1 win in Atlanta on April 6, the lefthander allowed one run and five hits in seven innings. He also did not walk a batter and struck out six.

Chuck James (2-1, 2.25) takes the mound for the Braves. The lefthander was solid in his first two starts, allowing one run over 11 innings combined. In his last start on Monday against the Washington Nationals, the lefthander allowed three runs in five innings and took the loss. James has not allowed a home run this season.

Chipper Jones hit a two-run home run in Friday's win and continues to dominate Mets pitching. For his career, the third baseman is batting .330 (198-for-600) with 37 home runs and 112 RBI against New York.

Brian McCann has a team-best .333 (18-of-54) batting average for the Braves, who lead the NL with 21 home runs.

New York's David Wright was 0-for-3 on Friday, ending his club-record hitting streak at 26 games.
