The Atlanta Braves haven’t lost two consecutive games yet this season.
That streak could be broken today, as the team dropped last night’s extra-innings matchup 4-2 to the Cleveland Guardians - despite a strong start from veteran Charlie Morton, Atlanta couldn’t figure out Guardians starter Tanner Bibee and then couldn’t capitalize against the Cleveland bullpen once Bibee finally left the game.
So Atlanta’s trying to take the series today, sending Bryce Elder to the mound against righty Ben Lively.
Lineups for the Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Guardians on Sunday, April 28th
Here's how Atlanta will line up for the contest:
RF Ronald Acuña Jr
2B Ozzie Albies
3B Austin Riley
1B Matt Olson
DH Marcell Ozuna
SS Orlando Arcia
CF Michael Harris II
LF Jarred Kelenic
C Chadwick Tromp
Elder’s hoping to repeat the success that had him an All-Star in 2023 after a phenomenal first half, and last time out was more of that form: 6.
