Mets-Braves Preview

(AP) -- The Atlanta Braves continue to strike out at an alarming rate.

Shawn Marcum isn't known as a strikeout pitcher, but even he had a career day in that category against the Braves a few weeks ago.

A day after struggling to put the ball in play against the New York Mets' pitching phenoms, Atlanta takes on the winless Marcum and looks to avoid losing a series at home for the first time all season Wednesday night.
