The Atlanta Braves enjoyed a boatload of offense and some outstanding starting pitching as they claimed a pair of victories over the New York Mets on Saturday at Citi Field. Atlanta blew out New York by a 21-3 score in Game 1 and followed that up with a 6-0 win in Game 2.

Grant McAuley and Jake Mastroianni of Locked On Braves discuss the offensive explosion led by a new face and some familiar names. NIcky Lopez highlighted the big win in Game 1 with a career-best day while Matt Olson took the MLB lead in home runs and Ozzie Albies homered in both games of the double header.

It was also a return to form for the starting rotation of late, including a brilliant performance from Allan Winans to earn his first major league win, and Spencer Strider to bounce back from one of his worst starts.
