The Atlanta Braves avoided a four game sweep against the Phillies yesterday thanks to continued dominance from Hurston Waldrep and clutch hitting from ROTY candidate Drake Baldwin late in the game.
Today, the Braves hope to take that momentum into Chicago to face the playoff bound Chicago Cubs. Spencer Strider is scheduled to take the mound hoping to help spoil the Cubs’ chances of catching up to the Brewers to get a higher playoff seeding.
Before the Phillies series, the bats were red hot for the Braves. Will those bats come back against a rotation that is not as good as the NLE leaders? We will find out starting at 4:05 EDT.
