KISSIMMEE, Fla. — Freddie Gonzalez is waiting for the Braves to break out for a big inning.
They got the hits Friday, not the results.
Martin Prado had two doubles among his three hits and Jason Heyward had two hits for an Atlanta split squad in a 5-3 loss to the New York Mets.
Dan Uggla and Brian McCann each had an RBI for the Braves. Combined with their other split squad losing to the New York Yankees, Atlanta is 1-7 this spring.
“We’ve been getting on base,” the Braves manager said. “Now we just need to put a crooked number up. We keep putting those ones up and we need to put up a two- or a three-spot. That’ll come. I’m not worried.”
