AJ Smith-Shawver gets the start as Braves go for sweep of Brewers

The Atlanta Braves will look to complete the series sweep Sunday when they wrap up a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers. A.J. Smith-Shawver will get the start for the Braves while the Brewers will go with right-hander Colin Rea.

This will be Smith-Shawver’s second stint on the active roster for the Braves. The 20-year old rookie made four appearances back in June with mixed results posting a 4.32 ERA and a 6.64 FIP in 16 2/3 innings. He’s pitched well over his last two outings at Gwinnett allowing four hits and two runs combined over nine innings in his last two starts.
