August 11 - The Atlanta Braves ended their swoon Saturday night and now will try to start a winning streak and help solidify their postseason status.
Atlanta's 11-8 win over Colorado snapped a six-game skid and was the 14th win in the last 16 games against the Rockies. The Braves will send Spencer Schwellenbach (4-5, 4.04 ERA) to the mound Sunday in Denver while Colorado will counter with Kyle Freeland (3-4, 5.65) in the rubber game of the three-game series.
The Rockies won the opener 6-5 on Friday.
Schwellenbach, who has been pitching well over the past five weeks, has logged at least six innings in each of his past five starts and three times lasted seven innings.
