The Braves will face the Pirates in the third game of the four game series. The Pirates will send out Mitch Keller to the mound, and he has been...bad this season, with a 7.16 ERA over 8 starts, although with peripheral stats that are more “not what you want” than “wow this guy is terrible”. They say that momentum is only as good as tomorrow’s starting pitcher and regardless of his less-than-terrible peripheral stats, Keller should be a soft target for Atlanta’s offense to continue rolling after a 20 run explosion on Friday.
Brian Snitker confirmed after Friday’s game that Bryse Wilson will be recalled to make Saturday’s start.
