Braves look to gain ground against hapless Rockies

April 28 - The Atlanta Braves didn't look like a contender 10 days ago, but they are rolling after winning seven of their past nine games.

Atlanta will take that momentum into Denver against the Colorado Rockies on Monday night. The Braves will send Bryce Elder (0-1, 5.57 ERA) against Colorado's Ryan Feltner (0-1, 3.86) in a matchup of right-handers.

The Braves began the season with a 0-7 record, then climbed to 5-13 before putting together four- and three-game winning streaks to get close to even before losing the finale of a three-game road series to the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
