The Atlanta Braves look to bounce back from a four game losing streak in an early game against the Arizona Diamondbacks. They have gone 1-4 on the home stand and are trying to salvage the last game of this disappointing start to the second half. Atlanta will send Spencer Strider to the mound where he will face-off against fellow ace Zac Gallen.
With an early game following a night game, Sean Murphy will get an expected day off and will be replaced by Travis d’Arnaud, who is probably the best backup catcher in baseball. d’Arnaud just signed a one year extension for eight million dollars, which has a club option for an extra year.
