After finishing June with a 21-4 record, the Atlanta Braves started July on the right foot with a dominant 7-0 win over the Miami Marlins. The intimidating Braves lineup gave Marlins phenom Eury Perez a welcome to the big leagues, with the 20 year old giving up six runs while only getting one out. With the victory, the Braves moved 55-27 after winning their seventh straight game. They are looking to go 8-0 on the home stand with ace Spencer Strider on the mound.
The pitching matchup pits a former Cy Young award winner Sandy Alcantara against Strider, who potentially has a Cy Young or two in his future.
