BLUE JAYS FROM TORONTO TO ATLANTA BRAVES
STARTING PITCHERS
TUESDAY 19:35
RHP Marcus Stroman (1-6, 6.50 ERA) vs RHP Julio Teheran (6-6, 4.47 ERA)
Tehran has been with the Braves since 2011, long enough that it has featured in the most recent series of Atlanta in 2013. It has alternated bad starts and good starts since early June. , with his most recent game a bad start (5 races, 5 IP, against the Yankees)
WEDNESDAY 19:35
RHP Sam Gaviglio (2-2, 3.81 ERA) against TBA [19659005] The LHP Max Fried of Atlanta would have been online for this start, but he went to DL on Friday because of a light bulb in his middle finger of his left hand. As Atlanta had a day off Monday, RHP Mike Foltynewicz (6-5, 2.37) could put his normal rest.
THREE MAIN LINES
1. Not-so-Hotlanta
The story of the 2018 season of the Braves is full of challenges. Atlanta finished the month of May with a record of 33-23, but it's only 17-16 years since. Pitching was a problem, with an ERA team in July 5.87, and with Canadian RHP Mike Soroka on the 60-day DL with an inflammation of the right shoulder. There are enough good teams in NL that neither the NL East title nor a joker are locks.
2. Let's listen to them "four"
On Sunday, four Braves players were named to NL's star team. 1B Freddie Freeman and OF Nick Markakis were elected by the fans, while RHP Mike Foltynewicz and 2B Ozzie Albies were chosen through the player vote. This will be Freeman's third ASG, but the first for the other three, including Markakis, who is in the 13th MLB season. Players will be honored at a ceremony before the match on Tuesday.
3. Snitker and Inciarte
On Sunday, the Ender Inciarte Braves did not come out of the batter's box after touching a fifth round ball and found themselves to first base instead of second, when the ball has been dropped. Braves manager Brian Snitker released Inciarte from the match. "I talked to him before (about the scramble)," Snitker told the media after the match. "He did what he had to do," said Inciarte. We will have to see if this player-manager problem turns into something bigger.
