Thanks to rain in Philadelphia yesterday, the Braves (25-28) and the Phillies (35-19) will play a doubleheader today.
AJ Smith-Shawver is slated to take the mound for Atlanta in Game 1 against Cristopher Sanchez for Philadelphia.
Philadelphia won the series opener, 2-0, Tuesday for their tenth win in their last eleven games but did take a major loss when Bryce Harper was forced to the sidelines after being HBP on his elbow (X-rays were negative).
The Braves are in a bad spot with a 1-5 record over their last six, but Ronald Acuna Jr. is back in the lineup and looking to rejuvenate the Braves’ lineup with two home runs in three games since his return from the injured list.
