Field Level Media

Two hot pitchers will be on the mound when the visiting Miami Marlins and Atlanta Braves complete their three-game series on Sunday afternoon.

Miami rookie Zach Thompson (2-2, 1.50 ERA) will be opposed by Atlanta veteran Charlie Morton (7-3, 3.74) in the rubber match between the two National League East rivals. The Marlins have won six of nine games against the Braves this season.

Thompson has been a good addition to the excellent Marlins' rotation. He has not allowed more than two runs in any outing since being promoted from the minors.
