The Braves will look to wrap up their supremely dominant June on a positive note as they continue their homestand with a Friday night showdown against the Miami Marlins. This game has plenty of intrigue. For one, the Marlins, yes, the Marlins (!) are currently the Braves’ main competition for the NL East crown — they enter play today six games behind the Braves, and have gone 19-7 in June so far. (The Braves, by comparison are 20-4 in the month with one game to go.) For another, the Braves have made a key roster move ahead of this game, recalling Michael Soroka from Triple-A Gwinnett to make his first Atlanta start in nearly three years.
