Matt Kemp, Braves open west coast trip in San Diego

The Atlanta Braves will wrap up the month of June on the west coast when they open a three-game series against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday. This series will mark the return of Matt Kemp to San Diego for the first time since being traded to Atlanta last July.

Kemp has found new life in Atlanta and is off to a great start again this season hitting .320/.361/.547 with 12 homers in 62 games this season. Kemp returned to the lineup in Sunday’s loss to the Brewers after a three-game absence due to a sore left hamstring.
