The Atlanta Braves are facing the New York Mets in Port St. Lucie as Spring Training rolls along. Watch the live streaming action at 1:05 p.m. ET as these N.L. East rivals hook up once again in training camp.
The Braves are coming off a 6-1 victory over the Detroit Tigers. In this game, the Braves flexed their muscles hitting three home runs. Tyler Pastornicky, B.J. Upton and Dan Uggla hit their first homers of Spring Training. This could be a teaser of what's ahead in the Braves future after they loaded up on talent, power and speed acquiring the Upton Brothers this past offseason.
The Mets are coming off a loss to the Miami Marlins. They put up four runs quickly in the third inning, but then everything fell apart as they lost 6-4.
For both teams, their rosters are missing players following the departure to World Baseball Classic training as Team USA gets set to begin their journey of acquiring a WBC gold medal. Craig Kimbrel, the Braves closer and probably the best in the business today, and David Wright set out to join the rest of the team.
Both teams are headed in different directions in 2013. The Braves could possibly win a World Series, while the Mets will have to stick as a team in a tough season to follow. It will be Wright and Ike Davis supplying the power and the Mets hope their young arms could at least draw fans into Citi Field.
