Tyler Mahle is set to make his second start for the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night, as the team faces the New York Mets in the final game of their regular-season series at Truist Park. Mahle's first start with Atlanta went well, according to CBS Sports, and he now returns to the mound in a rubber match that also serves as the last meeting between the two teams this season.
The game is part of College Week at Truist, a promotion noted by Yahoo Sports. With the series tied, Wednesday's outcome will decide the winner of the three-game set. The Braves acquired Mahle earlier this season, and his strong debut has given the team confidence as they look to finish the series on a high note.
Both reports highlight the importance of the matchup, with Yahoo Sports describing it as a series finale and rubber match. Mahle will look to build on his initial performance and help Atlanta close out the season series against New York with a win.
