Fresh off of a series win in Arizona, the Atlanta Braves will head into the final stop on their road trip with a three-game series in San Diego. The Braves will also finish out the suspended game from July 19 prior to Friday’s opener. Atlanta took three of four from the Diamondbacks but will leave town with just a two-game lead after they watched a late lead slip away Thursday. Their magic number to clinch the NL East is down to nine and a strong finish to this road trip would bolster their playoff chances.
