The Atlanta Braves will look to extend their win streak to five tonight as they will kick-off game one of a three game home set against the Texas Rangers. Chris Sale has received the starting nod for the Braves tonight, while the Rangers will send out Andrew Heaney to start things out on the mound for them. David Fletcher will make his first start of the 2024 season at second base tonight for the Braves as he will also bat in the nine spot. Adam Duvall will get the start in Left and bat sixth...
The Atlanta Braves will begin a nine-game homestand with a three-game series Friday night against the Texas Rangers. Atlanta is coming off a series sweep of the Astros and a 5-1 road trip. The series opener will feature a matchup of two left-handers in Atlanta’s Chris Sale and Texas’ Andrew Heaney. Sale is coming off of a start where he allowed six hits and five runs to the Marlins, but also logged seven innings while throwing over 100 pitches for the first time this season. Sale is carrying a...
After taking the first two games of the series, the Atlanta Braves look to sweep the Houston Astros as Max Fried takes the mound. Fried looked sharp in his last start against the Marlins and the Astros’ starter J.P. France gave up eight earned runs against the Rangers in his last start. Kelenic is the only player in the Braves lineup to have faced France, so it will be fun to see how the rest of the lineup does against him. First pitch is scheduled for 2:10 p.m. ET and can be seen on Bally...
Ozzie Albies is the third key player for the Atlanta Braves to be placed on the injured list before the end of April. Albies joins catcher Sean Murphy and starter Spencer Strider. Murphy is recovering from an oblique strain that he suffered in the opening series. Strider underwent an internal brace procedure on his pitching elbow and will miss the remainder of the season. Albies was hit by a pitch in the toe in Monday’s series opener against the Houston Astros. He stayed in and finished the...
Darius Vines would put in a tough spot on Monday. The Braves pitching staff as a whole had been struggling since Spencer Strider was lost for the season, and now Vines was called up to face a dangerous Houston Astros lineup (despite their early record.) Fortunately, Vines and the rest of the Braves pitching staff was ready for the challenge in a 6-1 victory over the Astros. Vines did his job over the first 4 2⁄3 innings, and then the Braves bullpen kept the Astros scoreless the rest of the way....
Darius Vines made a good impression with his first start of 2024, while the offense showed up late and the bullpen held things down in the Braves 6-2 win over Houston. The Braves are still trying to get their rotation reset after losing Spencer Strider to season-ending elbow surgery over the weekend. Next up to audition for a starting spot was Vines tonight in Houston. And he showed this audition probably needs to be more than just one start. It started a little shaky, if we’re being honest....
The Atlanta Braves will look to get series win tonight as they take on the Miami Marlins in game two. Chris Sale will get the start on the mound for the Braves as he looks to continue on success. Miami will send out Max Meyer out to the mound as he will have his work cut out for him against a tough Atlanta offense that will feature Jarred Kelenic tonight as he gets the start in Left. First pitch is scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET and the game can be seen on Bally Sports South.
The Atlanta Braves will try to get back in the win column Friday night when they open up a three-game series against the Miami Marlins at loanDepot park. Max Fried will be on the mound for Atlanta while left-hander Trevor Rogers will get the start for Miami. First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET and the game can be seen on Bally Sports South.
The start of Thursday’s matchup between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets has been delayed due to some lingering rain. The tarp is on the field at Truist Park, but there should be a window to get the game in. When it does start, it will be Allan Winans facing off against Jose Quintana. We will pass along further updates as they become available. The game now is officially delayed. It doesn’t look like it will be a lengthy delay, but as of now there is still no start time for Thursday’s...
The Atlanta Braves will be looking to secure a series win Thursday afternoon when they wrap up a weather shortened three-game series against the New York Mets. The Braves dropped the opener Monday, but held on Tuesday to secure a 6-5 win. Wednesday’s game was postponed until September due to the threat of inclement weather. Both teams elected to push back their Wednesday starters for Thursday’s game. Young right-hander Allan Winans will make his season debut for Atlanta while New York will go...
Wednesday’s game between the Atlanta Braves and the New York Mets has been postponed due to inclement weather. The game will be made up on September 26. The Mets won the opener of the series Monday while the Braves held on late for a 6-5 win Tuesday. The series will conclude Thursday with an afternoon 12:20 p.m. ET start. September 26 was a mutual off day for both teams and works out well since the Mets will be in town for two games on September 24 and 25. This is the second rain out of the...
The offense for the Atlanta Braves came to play once again but this time, they were unable to outslug their opponents. Two home runs and five RBIs from Brandon Nimmo were enough to help push the New York Mets to an 8-7 win on the 50th Anniversary of Henry Aaron's 715th home run. Both teams traded scoreless innings for the first couple of innings (which included this nifty strike 'em out/throw 'em out play for the Braves in the first inning) but it wasn't long before Atlanta got some offense...
