The Braves look to take game one against the Giants | Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports
The Braves meet the Giants in the first game of a three game series at home The Atlanta Braves are facing off against the San Francisco Giants tonight in the first game of a three game series at home.
The Braves’ offense has been struggling yet again, while the Giants’ has been surging. Fortunately, Reynaldo López is set to take the mound, and he just happens to have the best ERA in MLB among pitchers with at least 70.0 innings.
The Giants bring Hayden Birdsong to the mound to make his second career start. This matchup appears to be in the Braves’ favor, but there are a lot of unknowns. No Braves player has faced Birdsong before, and only two Giants have more than three at-bats against López.
First pitch is at 7:20 ET.
