ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Braves will go old-school with their pitching staff on Tuesday when they send starter R.A. Dickey to the mound on three days' rest.
Dickey (3-3, 4.13 ERA) will start the second game of a four-game series with the Pirates. Right-hander Tyler Glasnow (2-3, 7.34) gets the ball for Pittsburgh.
Atlanta won the series opener 5-2 on Monday behind homers from Brandon Phillips and Matt Adams.
Dickey, a knuckleballer, isn't believed to require as much rest as a typical pitcher, and Atlanta manager Brian Snitker didn't hesitate to send the veteran to the mound on non-typical rest.
