Allan Winans starts as Braves look for series win against Pirates

The Atlanta Braves will look to secure another series win Sunday when they wrap up a three-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates. Atlanta took the opener Friday 8-2, but fell 8-4 on Saturday. Atlanta is 92-49 for the season and their magic number to clinch the NL East is at eight.

Brian Snitker confirmed after Saturday’s game that the team will promote Allan Winans from Triple A to start Sunday’s game. This will be Winans first appearance in the majors since August 21 when he allowed seven runs in 4 1/3 innings against the Mets.
