The Braves are going with more-or-less their typical lineup today. Sean Murphy catches Fried over Travis d’Arnaud, batting sixth. Jarred Kelenic moves up one spot, as Laureano drops to eighth, but otherwise it is the same lineup as yesterday for the Braves.
Meanwhile, the Rockies starting lineup is as follows:
- Tovar SS
- Rodgers 2B
- Doyle, B CF
- McMahon 3B
- Bryant DH
- Diaz, E C
- Toglia 1B
- Goodman RF
- Hilliard LF
Old friend Sam Hilliard is in the lineup for Colorado again after pinch-hitting in Friday’s game. Charlie Blackmon takes a seat against Fried as Goodman replaces Cave in the corner outfield.
This is a game the Braves really could use to win if they want to stay in the playoff picture.
Today’s game is in Colorado and starts at 8:10 PM ET.
