Max Fried will take the mound Sunday as the Atlanta Braves try to secure a series win over the New York Yankees. Left-hander Nestor Cortes will get the start for New York.
Sean Murphy and Adam Duvall both return to the lineup for Sunday’s matchup. Murphy had two hits in the opener and has six in his last two contests. Duvall also took a seat Saturday and has been struggling at the plate. Despite those struggles, he has a 160 wRC+ against left-handed pitchers this season so it is no surprise to see him back in there. Ramon Laureano gets another start in right field and will hit eighth.
