The Atlanta Braves will try to inch back closer to the .500 mark Friday when they begin a three-game series against the Miami Marlins. Atlanta avoided a sweep Wednesday with a 14-3 blow out win against the Pirates and then enjoyed an off day Thursday. The Marlins took three of four from the Dodgers before dropping the series finale Thursday. Atlanta is 4-6 against Miami this season. Charlie Morton will get the start for Atlanta while Miami will counter with right-hander Zach Thompson.
First pitch is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. ET and can be seen on Bally Sports Southeast.
