Braves look to avoid getting swept by the Blue Jays, again

For the second time this month, the Atlanta Braves will be heading into the final game of a three-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays while trying to avoid getting swept. This time, it’s at home and once again, the third game of the series is a matinee affair.

11 days ago, the Braves took on Ross Stripling in Dunedin, Florida and while Stripling wasn’t exactly spectacular against Atlanta’s lineup, he did his job and held the Braves at bay while the Blue Jays continued their offensive onslaught at the expense of Atlanta’s pitching staff.
