KEY GAME INFORMATION
ATLANTA: ATLANTA (AP) - For the Atlanta Braves, spring training turned into a matter of survival.
No wonder they're so eager to get the season going.
The defending NL East champions lost a big chunk of their starting rotation down in Florida: projected opening day starter Kris Medlen and fellow right-hander Brandon Beachy both underwent Tommy John surgery for the second time and are out for the season. Another starter, Mike Minor, will also begin the year on the disabled list as he recovers from a sore shoulder.
But the Braves are nothing if not resourceful. They quickly signed Ervin Santana to a $14.1 million, one-year contract and have every intention of getting back to the playoffs for the fourth time in the last five years.
''We still have a great team,'' closer Craig Kimbrel said. ''It's tough losing two top pitchers. But getting Santana was really big. I want to be closing out division titles and championships and World Series. I think we've still got the group to do it.''
The Braves will have a different look behind the plate after longtime catcher Brian McCann signed with the New York Yankees. But another title in a lackluster division is certainly a possibility, especially if second baseman Dan Uggla and center fielder B.J. Upton bounce back from dismal seasons in which both hit under .200. They showed signs of turning things around in spring training.
''Time will tell,'' general manager Frank Wren said, ''but we really like what we've seen so far.''
NY METS: NEW YORK (AP) - Five straight losing seasons. That's what the New York Mets have produced since moving into Citi Field.
David Wright, for one, is tired of it.
''We need to start going out there showing results,'' the star third baseman said. ''The last couple years we've kind of been hampered by some contracts and payroll issues. It seems like that's behind us. At the same time, we've got those prospects knocking at the door. I think we're in a better place now than we have been the past few years and quite frankly, I think we have a better team.''
Translation: No more waiting for next year. No more selling the future. No more excuses.
It's time to take a step forward - and that means winning.
General manager Sandy Alderson seems to think so, too. After he signed free agents Curtis Granderson, Bartolo Colon and Chris Young this offseason, a report emerged that Alderson told staffers he thinks the Mets can win 90 games (with a payroll under $90 million).
Even hard-core fans found that overly optimistic, especially with ace Matt Harvey expected to miss the entire season following Tommy John surgery. New York posted its second consecutive 74-88 record last year - and that was with Harvey on the mound most of the way.
But there is reason for hope, particularly in Triple-A. Touted young pitchers Noah Syndergaard and Rafael Montero could soon join a promising rotation that includes Colon, Zack Wheeler, Dillon Gee and Jonathon Niese.
''He's got all the traits of the good ones,'' manager Terry Collins said about Syndergaard. ''He's on track to be special.''
The offense could be better with the addition of Granderson, who got a $60 million, four-year deal after an injury-plagued season for the Yankees across town. His left-handed power bat should provide some much-needed protection for Wright.
The multitalented Young, on a one-year contract following a down season in Oakland, appears highly motivated to regain his All-Star form.
''It's been interesting to watch the whole team,'' Granderson said early in spring training. ''There's power here. Chris Young has been amazing.''
The lineup remains flawed and prone to strikeouts, though the roster has improved. Perhaps not enough to push Washington and Atlanta in the NL East just yet, but the Mets expect to take significant strides this season as they anticipate Harvey's return in 2015.
''When I re-signed here, I knew it wasn't an overnight fix. I think I like that part of the challenge of it,'' Wright said. ''I want to be part of the reason why we get this thing turned around and headed in the right direction and ultimately start winning again. I think we have that ability.''

*Braves-Mets Preview* =====================

By NICOLINO DIBENEDETTO STATS Writer

Atlanta (10-5) at New York (8-7), 7:10 p.m. EDT

The Atlanta Braves were expecting veterans Aaron Harang and Ervin Santana to add depth to their injury-riddled rotation.

Instead, they've performed more like aces.

Santana looks to pick up where Harang left off in an impressive series-opening start as the Braves go for a seventh win in eight tries Saturday night.

Atlanta (11-5) is without Brandon Beachy and Kris Medlen for the season due to elbow surgery, while Mike Minor is trying to come back from tendinitis in his left shoulder.

With the hopes of softening the blow of those absences, the Braves signed Santana (1-0, 0.64 ERA) and Harang to one-year contracts.

They're doing much more than that. Harang's 0.70 ERA is only bested by Santana's for the lowest by an Atlanta starter.

Harang turned in another outstanding performance in a 6-0 victory Friday. He tossed seven no-hit innings before exiting after 121 pitches, but Luis Avilan gave up a single to David Wright in the eighth.

"I want him pitching 27 more times," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "If it was the ninth inning, maybe, think about (keeping him in)."

Now, Gonzalez will give the ball to Santana, who has won both of his career starts against New York (8-8) behind a 0.64 ERA. He was superb in the latest matchup April 9, yielding three hits through eight scoreless innings of a 4-3 win.

The right-hander's latest outing for the Braves was also impressive in Monday's 9-6 win at Philadelphia. He matched his career high of 11 strikeouts while allowing the only run on a solo homer in six innings.

"I've been so impressed with him," Gonzalez said. "He's got command, he's got some life, he knows how to pitch."

Gonzalez may also be impressed with the Braves' bats, which have produced a .280 average with 14 homers and 39 runs while Atlanta has won six of seven. They pounded out 12 hits with five doubles and a two-run homer by Freddie Freeman in the series opener.

Freeman is among baseball's leaders with a .390 average, while his five homers and 12 RBIs are tops for Atlanta. He's also hitting .429 with four homers and 13 RBIs over the past 10 meetings with the Mets.

Bartolo Colon (1-2, 6.00) is seeking some consistency for New York, and facing Atlanta could help.

Colon has a 1.20 ERA while winning all four starts against the Braves, including a 4-0 road victory April 8 during which he allowed six hits in seven crisp innings.

The right-hander followed that by surrendering nine runs and 11 hits - four homers - in five innings of a 14-2 defeat to the Los Angeles Angels.

Colon, though, was reportedly troubled by an aching back that could force him out of Saturday's scheduled start.

If Colon can't go, the Mets would then turn to Daisuke Matsuzaka, who was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on Friday.

"If Bartolo's back stiffens up on him, (Matsuzaka) has got to be ready," manager Terry Collins told the team's official website. "He'll come as if he's going to pitch ... we've got to have a backup plan, and right now Daisuke is our best option."

Matsuzaka went 3-3 with a 4.42 ERA in seven starts with the Mets last year, and that includes allowing six runs in three innings of a 13-5 loss at Atlanta on Sept. 2. The right-hander had a 2.25 ERA in two starts with Las Vegas.

He had a hard time with Freeman on Sept. 2, surrendering a two-run double and a three-run homer.
