After a well-deserved off day Monday, the Atlanta Braves will head back out on the road Tuesday where they will begin a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Braves just wrapped up a grueling stretch that included a nine-game road trip through Philadelphia and New York before returning home to face the NL Central leading Milwaukee Brewers.
Atlanta dropped two of the three games against Milwaukee and will come into the series with a 52-54 record. They entered play Monday in third place in the NL East standings, four games behind the Mets.
