Braves score early to win Touki Toussaint's first start of 2020

ATLANTA — Touki Toussaint was effective in his first start of 2020, and the Braves jumped out to a quick five-run lead Saturday night in a 7-1 victory over the New York Mets.

Toussaint, looking to fill the spot in the rotation vacated by the demotion of Mike Foltynewicz, pitched four scoreless innings in the best outing of what has been a rough season thus far for the right-hander. He struck out five batters, walked three and allowed three hits.
